In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Jan Suraaj leader Prashant Kishor addresses his party's unexpected defeat in the Bihar Assembly elections. Despite securing only 3.5% vote share instead of his projected 12-15%, Kishor remains committed to his 10-year vision for Bihar, highlighting how his party shifted political discourse away from caste and religion toward employment and migration issues. He also analyzes the factors behind JDU's surprising electoral success, attributing it partially to pre-election financial assistance distributed to voters.
