US EditionBihar election results: Where is Jan Suraaj? Prashant Kishor’s party’s ambitious debut fails to show up in trends
Jan Suraaj Party lost early leads on four seats and failed to win any, with voter turnout in Bihar hitting 69.20%, the highest since 1951, officials said.
- On Friday, Prashant Kishor, Jan Suraaj Party chief, saw his party draw a blank in early trends, matching exit-poll predictions of 0-3 seats as leads in Bahadurpur, Jokihat, Kargahar and Kumhrar flipped.
- Manoj Bharti said the party failed to connect with voters as people "had failed to understand JSP" and the party could not explain its vision.
- The Election Commission of India said 7.45 crore voters were eligible for 2,616 candidates, with 4,372 counting tables and more than 18,000 counting agents across 46 centres in 38 districts.
- Early trends suggest the verdict is tilting toward the National Democratic Alliance, seen as a referendum on Nitish Kumar and Narendra Modi, with an NDA win repairing last year’s Lok Sabha setback.
- Having contested all 243 seats, Jan Suraaj Party now faces questions about organisation and outreach after strong fights in about 15 constituencies failed to yield wins.
