‘Bihar’s Sons Stranded, Gujarat Gets Bullet Train’: Prashant Kishore Attacks Government Over Chhath Rush
Earlier in the day, independent candidate Anup Kumar Srivastava from Gopalganj officially joined the Jan Suraaj Party in the presence of party founder Prashant Kishor.
Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor on Friday launched a veiled attack on the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led NDA government in Bihar and alleged that the "youth of Bihar are struggling" to return home to Chhath while a "bullet train is being built in Gujarat".
"This is the janmabhoomi of Jan Suraaj, where the party came into being 3.5 years ago... We resolved that we will end the political bonded labour of the people of Bihar, where they vote for the BJP when they fear Lalu, and vice versa... In the coming 10-15 days, people need to decide whether they want to continue with the existing arrangement or whether they want to bring about a change... A bullet train worth Rs 1 lakh crore is being built in Gujarat, whereas the youth of Bihar are struggling to get a seat in the train to come home for Chhath...," Kishore told reporters here.
Earlier in the day, independent candidate Anup Kumar Srivastava from Gopalganj officially joined the Jan Suraaj Party in the presence of party founder Prashant Kishor.
This development follows Jan Suraaj's candidate, Shashi Shekhar Sinha, withdrawing his nomination from the Gopalganj assembly constituency. Following Sinha's exit, the party has extended its support to Srivastava for the upcoming polls.
