Bihar is holding by-elections to 4 seats and so far Prashant Kishor has been able to finalize the names of only three candidates from Jan Suraj – For all to see the agitation in Belaganj, a cloud of crisis hangs over the Tarari seat which was first announced.
Addressing a press conference in Bodh Gaya, Prashant Kishor said that Professor Khilafat Hussain from Belaganj, Dr Jitendra Paswan from Imamganj and SK Singh from Tarari will be candidates of the Jansuraj Party. First, the name of retired army man Shri Krishna Singh emerged as a candidate for the Tharari Assembly seat.
Prashant Kishore announces fielding of 40 Muslim candidates in Bihar elections, but agitation in Belaganj portends troubles ahead – People also express concern over Tharari Congress The change of candidates in the seat has raised questions about how an experienced candidate like Prashant Kishore will perform. Made such a big mistake?
Beraganj candidate sparks uproar
It is clear that only Prashant Kishor will field a Muslim candidate from Belaganj – hence the possibility of Jan Suraj Party winning the seat is also expressed.
Prashant Kishore has called a meeting of the Jan Suraj Party for the by-election to Belaganj seat. The meeting was only to finalize the names of the candidates. But when the names of the candidates were announced, the workers began to riot – because the names they were expecting did not become candidates.
It is learned that Professor Sarfaraz Khan, Professor Mohammad Amjad from Belaganj, Professor Khilafat Hussain, Dane and Mustaqeem are the five contenders, along with Mohammad end. Amjad’s name was also finalized, but the sudden announcement of Khilafat Hussain’s name caused an uproar.
Prashant Kishore clarified on the Beraganj riots that it was just a political statement, hence the doubts. It was earlier reported that Amjad’s name was widely known as he secured majority in the Jan Suraj and public surveys. However, it was also later told that the party had fixed Khilafat Hussain’s name but it could be changed. By the way, Mohd Amjad also participated in the election twice.
Meanwhile, a video has also gone viral on social media in which Prashant Kishore can be heard saying: “If you raise slogans, your neck will be cut…quiet Sitting on the floor, we can’t create pressure.”
However, Prashant Kishor linked the agitation in Belaganj with the emphasis on Jan Suraj. It is said that the so-called agitation is actually a symbol of public support… What you call agitation is a political decoration… I think this is the power of Jansuraj.
Prashant Kishor explains that this all proves how widespread Jan Suraj’s popularity is… If Jan Suraj’s idea had no power, then why would hundreds of people chant slogans and become candidates?
Prashant Kishore promised to provide tickets to 40 Muslim candidates in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. Judging from the current situation, this promise seems difficult to fulfill.
Why did Tarrare need a change of candidate?
Not for the Lok Sabha but to be a candidate in the Assembly and Legislative Council elections, your name has to appear in the electorate list of the state. Jan Suraj candidate Shri Krishna Singh from Tarari was a resident of Kalat village in Bhojpur but after retiring from the army, he lived in Delhi – He is also a voter of Delhi and he who is from Bihar to contest assembly elections has to be in the electoral list of a certain constituency.
If you had known about it earlier, you could have applied for a change. He could have applied by providing proof of where he wanted his name added, and his name could have been removed from Delhi – nothing has happened yet, now that the elections have been announced.
In this case, Prashant Kishore will have to name other leaders as candidates while Krishna Singh will have to wait until the next elections. However, it is not known until then what the situation will be. It is said that the BJP wanted him to contest from the Lok Sabha seat but due to personal reasons, he was not ready at that time.
This also sounds weird. After all, how could Prashant Kishore make such a mistake? He carefully examined every candidate. Where he worked, many leaders and workers were dissatisfied with his work style.
Prashant Kishore will surely learn from this lesson and take precautionary measures in the coming days. He is considered the most successful electoral strategist in the country. The answer to the question whether it can also be politically successful is yet to be found. What you once did for others must now be done by yourself. He could even blame the client for not following his advice, but now he can’t even do that. In any examination, success is achieved only if both theory and practice are passed.
