51 candidates were announced in the first list
Let us tell you that Jan Suraj Party had released the first list on October 9, which included the names of 51 candidates. However, it was not made clear whether Prashant Kishore himself would contest the elections or not. Prominent names included in the first list include former Bihar cadre IPS officer RK Mishra (Darbhanga), senior advocate and senior party leader YV Giri (Manjhi), former vice-chancellor of Patna University and Nalanda Open University KC Sinha (Kumharar) and Bhojpuri singer Ritesh Ranjan Pandey (Karghar).
On the other hand, Prashant Kishore had formally started the election campaign from Raghopur on 11 October. He had said in his speech that he would defeat Tejashwi “like Rahul Gandhi in Amethi”. When Prashant Kishore reached Raghopur, he was given a warm welcome. PK had asked a question to the people in the public meeting, your local MLA has been the Deputy Chief Minister twice, have you ever been able to go to him with your problem? The mixed reaction of the public on this indicated that it has not been easy for the common voters to reach out to Tejashwi Yadav.
Prashant Kishore’s name is not in the list
On the other hand, it is worth noting that the name of Jan Suraj founder Prashant Kishore is not there in this list. Raghopur seat has been left vacant for now. It is believed that Prashant Kishore can contest from this seat. With 51 names in the first list and 65 names in the second list, names of candidates from a total of 116 seats have been announced so far. Till now, there are 25 reserves in the list of total 116 candidates.
