Purnia: The convoy of Jan Suraaj Party leader Prashant Kishor was briefly stopped and searched by police on Monday, raising questions as campaigning intensifies ahead of Bihar’s two-phase assembly elections on November 6 and 11.
The incident occurred in Purnia, where Kishore was canvassing ahead of the polls. Reports indicate that police halted the vehicles for inspection before allowing the convoy to proceed. The sudden action caused a stir among party workers and onlookers.
The elections in Bihar have seen full-scale campaigning by both the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Grand Alliance, with Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party emerging as a notable contender in several constituencies. Officials have not clarified the reason behind the stop, and party representatives have called for transparency in the police action.
