New Delhi: Ahead of the Bihar Assembly polls, Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor reiterated on Sunday that there is no possibility of aligning with any political parties, inviting individuals seeking change to join the party.
Speaking to IANS, Kishor revealed plans for the party's state-wide signature campaign, set to launch on May 11, addressing three critical welfare issues in Bihar. He dismissed the idea of forming political alliances, stating that the party's alliance would be solely with the people.
He said, "I am starting my journey from Harnath. From May 11, we will launch an official campaign on three important issues in Jan Suraaj. Our workers will go door-to-door in every household across Bihar."
The campaign will question the status of three key government commitments.
Prashant Kishor elaborated that his party would gather public opinion on whether the 94 lakh families identified in the caste-based census received the promised Rs 2 lakh, whether Mahadalit and Dalit families were granted the 3 dismil (decimal) of land they were supposed to receive, and whether the digitisation of land records under the land survey was completed as promised.
"On these three issues, Jan Suraaj will launch a people-driven campaign. I will visit Nitish Babu's village, Kalyan Bigha, on May 11 and go house-to-house to gather public opinion. If people agree with our concerns, I will take their signatures as part of this movement," Kishor remarked.
"If the government claims these promises have been fulfilled, then there should be no objection to people verifying it," he added.
When asked about the possibility of a political alliance in the future, Kishor categorically denied any such plans.
"In the fight for change, Jan Suraaj will ally with the people. People who want change will have an alliance with Jan Suraaj. With any party, any political organisation, there is no question of an alliance. Jan Suraaj will contest all 243 seats independently. There will be no alliance before or after the elections," he asserted.
