Bihar Election 2025: ‘60% People Want Change,’ Prashant Kishor Says Jan Suraaj Emerges as New Hope

Prashant Kishor, founder of Jan Suraaj, claims over 60% of Bihar’s voters seek change. Record voter turnout and active participation of migrant workers signal a shift, establishing Jan Suraaj as a credible new political option in the 2025 elections.

Patna: Following the first phase of voting in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor (PK) stated that the people of Bihar have clearly shown a strong desire for change this time.

PK said that the record voter turnout and over two crore votes cast indicate that the public is no longer satisfied with the old political options. He claimed that approximately 60% of the people of Bihar want change and are now viewing Jan Suraaj as a strong political alternative.

The Crucial Role of Migrant Workers

PK explained that migrant workers have become an "X factor" in this election. The migrant workers who stayed in Bihar after the Chhath festival not only voted themselves but also encouraged their families and communities to vote.

He further added that the public is no longer compelled to vote out of fear of Nitish Kumar or Lalu Yadav; people have turned towards real alternatives.

Criticism of the Old Parties

PK criticized both the NDA and the RJD-Congress alliance. He said that the public is no longer influenced by the politics and insecurities of the old leaders.
