Bihar BJP Unleashes Scathing Attack: Calls Prashant Kishor a 'Businessman' Whose Political Dreams Are Fading

In a fiery political broadside, Bihar’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched an intense verbal assault on political strategist Prashant Kishor, openly questioning the efficacy and motives behind his much-publicized ‘Jan Suraaj Yatra’. The saffron party hasn't held back, labeling Kishor a 'businessman' who, they claim, has come to a stark realization: the political landscape of Bihar is simply not tilting in his favor.

The criticism stems directly from Bihar BJP president Samrat Choudhary, who minced no words in his assessment of Kishor's political trajectory.

“He is a businessman, who wants to trade. He wants to mint money from here. He has realized that the situation is not in his favour,” Choudhary declared, painting a picture of a calculated operator rather than a genuine political reformer. This aggressive stance underscores the deep-seated skepticism within the BJP regarding Kishor’s long-term political ambitions and his ongoing padyatra (foot march).

Choudhary further elaborated on his party’s view, suggesting that Kishor’s political maneuvers are ultimately destined for failure.

“He knows the situation is not in his favour, and he knows he cannot achieve anything politically in Bihar,” he asserted, effectively dismissing Kishor’s efforts as a non-starter. This isn’t just about criticism; it’s a confident proclamation of Kishor’s political impotence from a dominant political force in the state.

The BJP’s barbs extend to Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Yatra itself, which the party views as a largely ineffective endeavor.

According to BJP leaders, the Padyatra, despite its extensive coverage, has failed to gain significant traction among the populace, failing to resonate with the common Bihari. They suggest that Kishor is merely attempting to grab headlines by commenting on various issues, without offering a concrete, viable political alternative.

Adding to their critique, the BJP highlighted Kishor’s past, referencing his stints with various political parties including the JDU, AAP, TMC, and Congress.

This history, according to the BJP, further solidifies their narrative that Kishor lacks a consistent ideological grounding and is more akin to a political consultant or a 'trader' who offers his services to the highest bidder or most promising prospect. The implication is clear: his current solo venture is just another chapter in a series of strategic calculations, rather than a grassroots movement.

While Kishor has often presented his Yatra as a movement to bring about a new political discourse and expose the failures of past administrations in Bihar – including both NDA and Grand Alliance governments – the BJP remains unfazed.

They firmly believe that the people of Bihar have already placed their trust in the robust leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), confidently asserting their continued dominance in the state’s political landscape.

As the political temperature continues to rise in Bihar, with elections on the horizon, the BJP's direct and unapologetic attack on Prashant Kishor signals an intensified rivalry.

It’s a clear message: the 'businessman' in politics, according to the BJP, might be realizing that some markets are just not open for trade.
