NEW DELHI: Poll strategist-turned-politician and Jan Suraaj chief Prashant Kishor on Monday asserted that the main electoral contest in Bihar will be between the NDA and his party, Jan Suraaj.
Kishor claimed that the Tejashwi Yadav -led Mahagathbandhan will be pushed to the margins, finishing a distant third. Speaking to ANI, he said, “We are visiting every assembly constituency. Mahagathbandhan is in the third position. The fight is between NDA and Jan Suraaj. The announcements made by Tejashwi Yadav in the last 5 days have no sense at all. They are saying all this to become relevant and come to the race. Nobody is paying attention...”
The Mahagathbandhan recently declared RJD scion and Lalu Prasad Yadav ’s son Tejashwi Yadav as its chief ministerial face for the upcoming Bihar elections. The NDA, meanwhile, has not made a formal announcement but is widely seen as backing incumbent and longest-serving CM Nitish Kumar as its leader.
Kishor, who is preparing for Jan Suraaj’s debut in Bihar politics, has decided not to contest personally in this election -- a move that surprised many observers.
Bihar will vote in two phases on November 6 and 11, with counting scheduled for November 14 in the country’s fourth-largest assembly.
