Prashant Kishor Initiates Bihar Nav Nirman Yatra with Focus on Grassroots Mobilization
In a significant political move, Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor officially launched the "Bihar Nav Nirman Yatra" on Sunday, commencing from Bagaha in West Champaran district. The event marked a renewed commitment by his organization to establish what he described as a "strong, honest, and accountable political alternative" within the state of Bihar. Addressing a gathering of dedicated party workers and enthusiastic supporters, Kishor emphasized that Jan Suraaj has maintained continuous grassroots engagement even following the recent electoral cycle.
Organizational Expansion and Strategic Objectives of the Yatra
Kishor detailed that the organization is actively broadening its structural network across all districts under the overarching Bihar Nav Nirman Abhiyan. The primary goals of this extensive yatra are threefold:
- To reconnect with former associates and allies who have previously supported the movement.
- To induct new members into the Jan Suraaj fold, thereby expanding its base.
- To systematically strengthen the party's organizational framework throughout Bihar.
This initiative underscores a strategic effort to build a robust, bottom-up political entity focused on long-term societal impact rather than short-term electoral gains.
Demanding Accountability on Women's Financial Promise
In a direct appeal to key political figures, Kishor urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to honor their election pledge of providing Rs2 lakh to women in Bihar. He announced that Jan Suraaj will initiate a comprehensive door-to-door campaign to ensure women are aware of this promise and receive the entitled funds. Kishor issued a stern warning, stating that if the government fails to deliver on this commitment, his organization will escalate the issue to the public domain, mobilizing widespread awareness and pressure.
Clarifying Political Roles and Jan Suraaj's Mission
Commenting on the reported tensions within the RJD-Congress alliance, Kishor asserted that the people of Bihar have already delineated political roles through their electoral mandate. "The NDA has been entrusted with the responsibility to govern, the RJD is positioned to serve in opposition, and Jan Suraaj is tasked with addressing public issues directly within society," he explained. He reaffirmed that his organization would continue to execute this societal role with unwavering sincerity and dedication.
Kishor concluded by reiterating that Jan Suraaj's involvement in politics is not driven by a quest for power. Instead, it functions as a dedicated platform aimed at the comprehensive rebuilding of Bihar and the steadfast advocacy for the rights and welfare of its citizens.
