Bihar : Former poll strategist Prashant Kishor, on Wednesday, officially launched his political party Jan Suraaj Party.
The political strategist-turned-activist Kishor made the much-anticipated move, through which he hopes to take the political landscape in Bihar by storm.
The party was launched at Veterinary College Ground in the state capital in the presence of many renowned figures, including former Union minister Devendra Prasad Yadav, diplomat-turned-politician Pavan Varma and ex-MP Monazir Hassan.
The party was floated exactly two years after Kishor had embarked on a more than 3,000-km-long ‘padayatra’ of the state, from Champaran where Mahatma Gandhi had launched the first Satyagraha in the country, in a bid to mobilise the people for a “new political alternative” that could cure Bihar of its chronic backwardness.
