Prashant Kishor
New Delhi: The Bihar Assembly elections have concluded. The results have shocked everyone. The NDA won 202 seats, while the Grand Alliance was reduced to just 35.
Meanwhile, Prashant Kishore, who scripted the electoral successes of political parties and satraps, suffered a crushing defeat.
The Jan Suraj Party was disappointed in the election results, failing to win a single seat.
Indeed, Prashant Kishore has been credited with the electoral success of many political parties.
But his much-awaited script has proven to be a resounding failure. Three years ago, when he began his public relations journey in Bihar with a padayatra from Champaran, he made headlines for his communication skills.
Making a splash with these heavyweights
Prashant Kishor's popularity was further enhanced by his work with several prominent politicians, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and regional heavyweights like Chief Ministers Nitish Kumar and Mamata Banerjee, in some of their successful electoral contests.
As an election strategist, his successes were a sensation. However, failures like the 2017 UP Assembly elections did not diminish his image.
Unlike most election strategists, who prefer to remain behind the scenes and remain low-profile, Prashant has never shied away from criticizing and criticizing politicians he believes are unfriendly to them, a famous example being Rahul Gandhi, when negotiations to join the Congress failed.
Prashant Kishor's Predictions
Election strategist Prashant Kishor had predicted that the BJP would not cross 100 seats in West Bengal in 2021, which proved to be correct. After this, his stature gradually grew.
Prashant Kishor's stature created a buzz of anticipation before the launch of his Jan Suraj Party in Bihar. His rallies and roadshows drew large crowds, and his interviews were in high demand.
Raised the issue of unemployment and migration
In Bihar, Prashant Kishor blended unconventional sharp attacks on regional satraps with a dash of arrogant predictions.
During the election campaign, Prashant Kishor promised to rid Bihar of the problems of unemployment and unsustainable migration.
But as the dust of the NDA's tsunami in the Bihar Assembly elections settled, Prashant Kishor and his ambitions were buried.
He claimed that Nitish Kumar, whose party he had joined with much fanfare in 2018 and was expelled in 2020 for publicly insulting him for supporting the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, would not be the next Chief Minister and that his party, the JDU, would not win more than 25 seats.
He even declared that if that happened, he would quit politics. Prashant Kishor's brilliance as a political strategist has now faded.
