In Patna, the Election Commission just released the schedule for Bihar’s upcoming assembly polls. The announcement sent a clear signal to the Jan Suraj Party (JSP), a small but ambitious newcomer in state politics, as its founder Prashant Kishor launched a bold campaign push.
Kishor told reporters that the two‑phase election plan is a win for all voters. “We’ve been watching the numbers for months,” he said. “Now the calendar is set and the pressure is off.” He added that people will finally be able to vote for their own future, not just for Modi, Nitish Kumar or Lalu Prasad Yadav.
The JSP leader also projected how the votes might fall. He explained that in the last election the main alliances together captured 72 % of the vote. “The other 28 % is ours,” he said. According to recent surveys, the big camps could lose about 10 % of that share, which would move towards the JSP. “I expect our vote share to be around 48 % this time,” Kishor said confidently.
Kishor turned around the criticism that his party is a “vote‑cutter” and claimed it was a badge of honour. “We cut enough votes from both sides that the opposition will be wiped out,” he said, showing he’s ready to take on the established political families in Bihar.
He also highlighted a regional vision for the state. “I want Bihar to become a place where students and workers from Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra come to study and work,” he told the crowd. “We’ll open new opportunities and build a brighter tomorrow for our children.”
When asked about the Patna Metro launch, Kishor did not hold back. “Nitish Kumar opened the metro latest Monday, and that was his last inauguration,” he laughed. “We won’t let him hit the same old ceremonies again. His next stop will be a different backdrop – one that shows he really cares about people.”
The two‑phase election format pleased the JSP’s national president, Uday Singh, who welcomed the announcement. “The elections start after Diwali and Chhath,” Singh said. “Families returning home for the holidays will have the chance to vote for change.”
Kishor framed the phased polling as a way to M curb the BJP’s massive rally strategy. “Before, elections ran too long so that Modi could hold rallies all over the state,” he said. “Now the BJP sees that rallies won’t help much. The polls must finish quickly.”
With the timetable clear, the Jan Suraj Party is sharpening its message and rallying supporters. Kashmir and Delhi alike can watch. If it goes as Kishor predicts, it could rewrite Bihar’s political map and give voters a fresh choice for the future.
