In view of the assembly elections in Bihar, political temperature is on the rise. Meanwhile, Jan Suraj Party founder Prashant Kishore surrounded RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.

Lack of basic facilities in Raghopur – Prashant Kishore
He further said, “I am going to take feedback from the people of Raghopur constituency, who want to end the dominance of one family. Before Tejashwi Yadav became MLA for the second time, his father Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi had represented this seat. Still, the people of this assembly constituency are yearning for basic amenities.”

Jan Suraj founder Prashant Kishore also said that the election campaign will start after the announcement of all the tickets. He said, “Today I am going to Raghopur, this is a special area from where the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister are elected. I am going there to meet Jan Suraj’s colleagues from that area and ask him that if the people of Raghopur are to be freed from poverty, misery and backwardness, then who should contest the elections?
Will take the decision after taking feedback from the people of Raghopur – Prashant Kishore
He further said, “I will ask the people of Raghopur, who is the person who will stand up and challenge Tejashwi? We will stand against Tejashwi and his actions and we will discuss it there. The feedback I will bring from there, I will put before the party leadership, based on that a decision will be taken tomorrow (October 12). Let us tell you that voting for the assembly elections in Bihar is going on in two phases on November 6 and November 11.
