Prashant Kishor has accused the BJP of intimidating and pressuring three Jan Suraaj Party candidates into withdrawing their nominations for the Bihar election. He claims the ruling party fears Jan Suraaj's clean candidates more than traditional opposition, showing evidence of meetings between his withdrawn candidates and senior BJP leaders including Amit Shah. Kishor vows to take the matter to the Election Commission and promises his remaining 240 candidates will continue fighting to change Bihar's political landscape.
