Patna: As the second phase of voting for the Bihar Assembly elections approaches, Jan Suraj founder Prashant Kishore made a strong statement about the changing mood of the people. Addressing a large crowd in Bettiah, West Champaran, on Monday, Kishore said that votes in Bihar are no longer being decided by caste, religion, or money. According to him, the people of Bihar are now focusing on development and good governance, and this marks a major shift in the state’s politics.
He said that the high voter turnout in the first phase of the election shows a clear desire for change. Kishore explained that people are no longer voting based on traditional loyalties but are looking for leaders who can improve their lives. “This year’s large turnout is not just excitement for elections,” he said. “It is a sign that people want to move beyond caste and religion and work toward a clean and developed Bihar.” Kishore added that such awareness among voters is a positive sign for the state’s future.
Prashant Kishore also said that the time for old-style politics has ended. He said that the people of Bihar have shown that they no longer want to follow leaders who depend on caste equations or money power. “In a democracy, the public is the ultimate authority,” he said. “This time, the people have given a clear message — they want honesty, good governance, and real development.” Kishore expressed hope that this new thinking among voters will help bring an end to corruption and bring a new kind of politics to Bihar.
He also appealed to political leaders to understand the changing expectations of the people. Kishore said that Bihar can only progress if all leaders work together in areas like education, health, and employment. “The goal of Jan Suraj is to strengthen Bihar in these fields,” he said. “Every citizen’s participation is necessary to make Bihar better.” A large number of people attended his meeting and listened closely to his message, showing strong public interest in his ideas.
Prashant Kishore’s address in Bettiah highlighted a growing belief that Bihar is ready for a new direction. His speech suggested that voters are slowly moving away from the politics of identity and division and are ready to support those who talk about progress, transparency, and change.
