The war of words and political upheaval is always at its peak in the politics of Bihar, where the political equations of the state seem to change in a moment on every statement. Founder of Jan Suraj Party and MLA from Patna’s high-profile Bankipur assembly seat, Prashant Kishor has once again made a very sharp and scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leadership. Recently, during a media interaction, Prashant Kishor raised questions on the working style of BJP’s national president and leaders and taunted that the leader who was completely rejected by the people of his own stronghold i.e. Bankipur and did not vote for him, how could he be questioned among teachers and the general society. Since this statement of Prashant Kishor came to light, there has been panic in the political circles of Bihar and a new political battle has broken out between the ruling party and Jan Suraj. Let us know in this detailed report how Prashant Kishore has cornered the BJP leadership through his statement and what are the ground political circumstances behind it.
BJP President targeted by citing Bankipur election results
Prashant Kishor, showing his aggressive attitude, said that Bankipur assembly constituency has always been considered the safest and strongest stronghold of BJP, where big leaders and national level officials of the party used to claim their victory. But the public, making up its mind for change, completely broke that myth and deflated BJP’s claims. Taking aim in this context, PK said that when the conscious people of Bankipur have clearly refused to support the party president and his candidates, then how can the teachers, youth and common voters of the state trust their words or tempting promises. He said in clear words that now the public is not going to be misled by mere paper claims and big statements, rather they are taking decisions on the basis of the work done on the ground and their rights.
Big attack on the government regarding teachers’ issues and 7th pay scale
During this political attack, Prashant Kishor did not limit himself only to political war of words, but also loudly raised the burning issues of lakhs of teachers and employees of Bihar. Questioning the NDA government of the state and especially the system led by Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, he said that the teacher community has been struggling for a long time for their due rights, respect and basic demands like 7th Pay Commission. But the people in power have no time to listen to their problems or solve them. Prashant Kishor challenged and said that if the teacher community and the graduate class come together to fight for their rights, then the ego of big political giants will be dashed, which has started with the historic victory of Bankipur.
This statement of Prashant Kishor is echoing in political circles, tension in NDA increased
After this sharp sarcasm of Prashant Kishor, a round of reactions has started from other political parties of Bihar also. On one hand, Jan Suraj’s supporters are calling it the beginning of a new alternative against the traditional and casteist politics of the state, while on the other hand, ruling party leaders are calling this statement a mere political stunt. However, it cannot be denied that since the Bankipur by-election, the way Prashant Kishor has kept grassroots issues—especially education, employment and system change—at the center of his politics, he has given sleepless nights to both the big mainstream alliances (NDA and Mahagathbandhan). There is every possibility that this political conflict regarding the issues of teachers and youth will become more intense in the coming time, due to which the temperature of politics in the state will remain high.
