Biharis never waste their vote: Chirag Paswan rubishes Prashant Kishor's claim of fight between NDA and Jan Suraaj

Union Minister Chirag Paswan counters Prashant Kishor's claim that Bihar election is NDA vs Jan Suraaj, says Biharis are politically intelligent voters.

"Biharis are politically very intelligent, and they never waste their vote. - Chirag Paswan"

Patna, October 19

Union Minister and LJP (RV) chief Chirag Paswan on Sunday dismissed the Jan Suraaj party, saying that the people of Bihar are politically intelligent and "will not waste" their vote on Prashant Kishor.

Paswan's remarks came in response to Kishor's statement that the fight is between the NDA and Jan Suraaj.

The LJP (RV) chief emphasised that people know that only an MLA from a party that has connections with the Union government can resolve the issues of Bihar. He expressed confidence that the NDA government will be formed in the state after the elections.

In an interview with ANI, Paswan said, "Biharis are politically very intelligent, and they never waste their vote. They know that even if they make a particular candidate victorious, he will keep fighting with the government, and there will be no benefit in electing him. Only an MLA who is part of the government and has connections with the Union government can resolve their issues. It is clear that the NDA government will be formed. Even if they vote for a Jan Suraaj candidate, what benefit will they get? The election is not even bipolar, as the Mahagathbandhan is struggling to keep its flock together..."

Earlier on Saturday, Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor took a jibe at the Mahagathbandhan, saying that the opposition alliance would finish in the third place in the Bihar polls.

He stated that the fight in the Bihar elections is between the National Democratic Alliance and Jan Suraaj.

Mahagathbandhan is going to finish third this time. "The fight is between the NDA and Jan Suraaj," he told reporters.

The 243-seat Bihar assembly will go to the polls in two phases on November 6 and November 11, with the counting of votes scheduled to take place on November 14.

Prashant Kishor is overestimating his party's reach. Jan Suraaj is nowhere in the political landscape of Bihar. People want stable government, not experiments.

While I agree that Biharis are politically aware, I think dismissing new parties completely is not fair. Sometimes fresh perspectives are needed for real change. But yes, NDA does have the advantage of being in power.

As someone who has observed Bihar politics for years, I think both leaders are making valid points. But ultimately, voters will decide based on what's best for their constituencies and development needs.

Chirag ji is speaking the truth! Bihari voters understand the importance of voting strategically. We need MLAs who can actually deliver, not just make promises. NDA has proven its capability. 👍

Interesting political dynamics in Bihar! Prashant Kishor's claim about Mahagathbandhan finishing third seems bold, but Chirag's argument about practical voting makes sense from a development perspective.
