PK rules out contesting Lok Sabha polls
Poll strategist Prashant Kishor, who is currently on Jan Suraj Padyatra, has made it clear that his party would not contest the 2024 Lok Sabha election. Since Jan Suraj is not a political party, it cannot contest the election, Kishor explained. “If someone from Jan Suraj family contests elections, whatever strength and understanding that I and Jan Suraj have, will be deployed behind that candidate,” he added. “I had already said during the Pad Yatra that Jan Suraj is not a party nor is Prashant Kishore its leader. For the development of Bihar, a blue print needs to be made in every Panchayat, he added.
BJP leaders organise fruit party on Navaratri
Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election, politicians are coming up with innovative ideas to improve their electoral chances. BJP leaders are known for their ‘ingenuity’ and so even during ‘Navratri’, they don’t want to miss any chance. Therefore, they are organising ‘Phalahar Parties’ for party leaders and also common people. RJD and JD (U) leaders organise Iftar parties in the month of Ramzan. BJP leaders say that if Iftar party can be organised in the month of Ramzan, followers of Sanatan religion fast on the occasion of Navratri and so what is the harm in throwing a fruit party.
