MELBOURNE, 19 JULY 2022: India’s top political strategist Prashant Kishor, today said he will launch ‘Jan Swaraj, a political movement in Bihar on October 2, aimed at mobilizing the people from village to village in India’s state which is right at the bottom in social and economic indicators. This new effort, he said, will listen to the people to develop a viable strategy because he is not satisfied with the performance of political parties whom he helped win elections. In Bihar, despite 25 governments, the situation has not changed.

Mr. Prashant Kishor claimed his political consultancy in 10 out of 11 elections for Prime Minister N. Modi (3rd time in Gujarat & the center in 2014) and subsequently in state elections in Bihar (JD-U), West Bengal (TMC), and Tamilnadu among others have been successful.

Mr. Prashant Kishor was in a conversation today with Australia India Institute CEO, Lisa Singh at the Institute premises in the program ‘Chats over Chai’ before a select audience of academics and students. He explained his plan was aimed to understand the issues, what solutions are possible, and identify people who could be future political leaders. This could be a fresh start, he said.

Prashant Kishor’s political ambitions in India’s complex, volatile and noisy multi-party system, seem could see a move towards the formation of another political party, which he told South Asia Times (SAT), likely to be centre-Left. He wants to give representation to a new crop of people who can move into politics, possibly diminishing dynastic politicians. He is determined to meet this new challenge.
