Prashant Kishor admits failure as Jan Suraaj Party loses all 238 Bihar seats

Prashant Kishor, founder of the Jan Suraaj Party, has taken full responsibility for his party’s defeat in the 2021 Bihar elections. The party failed to secure any of the 238 seats it contested, prompting Kishor to announce a day of silent fasting as a gesture of atonement.

The Jan Suraaj Party, launched by Kishor, entered the Bihar elections with high hopes but faced a complete shutout. In response, Kishor admitted that the party struggled to communicate its message effectively to voters. He acknowledged these shortcomings as a key reason for the loss.

Kishor’s silent fast marks a rare moment of public introspection after a major electoral loss. The move underscores his commitment to the state’s politics, even as his party regroups. His challenge to Nitish Kumar over alleged vote-buying keeps the controversy alive.
