During his Bihar Badlav Yatra in Vaishali, political strategist and Jan Suraj leader Prashant Kishor launched a scathing attack on several prominent NDA leaders. Addressing the media, he named Ashok Choudhary, Mangal Pandey, and Dilip Jaiswal as the most corrupt leaders in Bihar. Kishor declared that if Jan Suraj forms the government within three months, strong action will be taken against them, and every penny of corruption will be recovered.
Bihar Badlav Yatra Gains Momentum
Prashant Kishor’s Bihar Badlav Yatra has been attracting large gatherings across the state. On his Vaishali stop, he used the platform to intensify his criticism of the ruling NDA. Kishor, known for his sharp political commentary, claimed that the people of Bihar are now aware of the corruption that has crippled the state for decades. His remarks were directly aimed at senior figures in the current government.
Attack on Ashok Choudhary
Kishor accused Ashok Choudhary of manipulating the system to become a professor fraudulently. He alleged that Choudhary managed this at the age of 58 without proper qualifications. According to Kishor, while thousands of educated youth in Bihar are struggling to secure clerical jobs, Choudhary managed to secure political power and academic titles without clear merit.
He also targeted Choudhary’s family connections, stating that his daughter is in one political party, while his son-in-law is in another, highlighting what he described as opportunism and hypocrisy in politics. Kishor suggested that the people of Bihar have understood these tactics and will no longer tolerate such practices.
Charges Against Dilip Jaiswal
Kishor also named BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal as one of Bihar’s most corrupt leaders. He claimed that Jaiswal has been part of financial mismanagement and alleged deals that hurt public trust. Kishor challenged anyone to conduct an online survey to confirm his statements, asserting that the people of Bihar are well aware of Jaiswal’s involvement in corruption.
He insisted that under a Jan Suraj government, accountability will be enforced, and no leader accused of corruption will be spared. Kishor vowed that Jaiswal would be investigated and forced to return illegal earnings.
Allegations Against Mangal Pandey
Kishor’s criticism of Health Minister Mangal Pandey was particularly sharp. He alleged that during the COVID-19 crisis, when the people of Bihar were struggling, Pandey was busy buying flats in Delhi. According to Kishor, the money for these purchases came from questionable deals involving Dilip Jaiswal.
He claimed that Pandey admitted to receiving 25 lakh rupees but failed to account for 61 lakh rupees. Kishor said that this example reflects how Bihar’s leadership exploited public suffering during the pandemic for personal gain.
Promise of Action After Three Months
Kishor emphasized that once Jan Suraj forms its government, strict measures will be taken against corrupt leaders. He said investigations would not be symbolic but aimed at recovering every rupee lost due to corruption. His statement was met with cheers from the audience, who responded positively to his aggressive stance on corruption.
Kishor also added that these leaders might not contest elections in the future because of public anger and upcoming accountability.
Criticism of Tejashwi Yadav and Family Politics
Apart from attacking NDA leaders, Kishor also targeted the RJD leadership. He said that Tejashwi Yadav believes that only his family has the right to rule Bihar. Kishor mocked the cycle of dynastic politics, saying that after Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi became Chief Minister, then Tejashwi himself rose to power, and in the future, his son may expect the same privilege.
Kishor said the people of Bihar are tired of such entitlement and that Jan Suraj will dismantle family-based politics. He claimed that voters now want leaders who can bring real change, not dynasties that focus on their own power.
Connecting With the People
Throughout his Bihar Badlav Yatra, Kishor has been interacting directly with citizens. He stressed that his movement is not just about forming a party but about changing the political culture of Bihar. He promised a transparent and accountable system if Jan Suraj gains power.
His speeches often include sharp critiques of both ruling and opposition leaders, which resonates with the frustrations of ordinary people. In Vaishali, his remarks against corruption drew strong reactions from the crowd, many of whom cheered his vow of strict accountability.
Corruption as Central Agenda
By naming Ashok Choudhary, Dilip Jaiswal, and Mangal Pandey as Bihar’s most corrupt leaders, Kishor has made corruption the centerpiece of his campaign. His strategy is clear—position himself and Jan Suraj as the alternative force fighting against corrupt governance.
He repeatedly highlighted that Bihar’s youth are unemployed, infrastructure remains poor, and public resources are siphoned away by political elites. Kishor’s speeches frame him as a reformist challenging an entrenched system.
Political Reactions Likely
Kishor’s remarks are expected to draw sharp responses from the leaders he named. In the past, both Mangal Pandey and Dilip Jaiswal have denied corruption charges and accused Kishor of political opportunism. This latest round of allegations is likely to escalate the political battle in Bihar as elections approach.
Observers suggest that Kishor’s direct attack on specific individuals sets him apart from traditional political speeches, where leaders usually avoid such targeted accusations.
The Larger Message
Kishor’s Bihar Badlav Yatra is not just about criticizing individuals but about presenting a vision for governance. He often highlights that Bihar cannot progress until corruption is eliminated. By emphasizing that Jan Suraj will hold leaders accountable, he appeals to the public’s demand for justice.
In his speech, Kishor reiterated that his movement is for the people and driven by the people. He said that leaders who enriched themselves while the masses suffered will face consequences once his party gains power.
Prashant Kishor’s statements in Vaishali mark a significant escalation in Bihar’s political discourse. By naming Ashok Choudhary, Mangal Pandey, and Dilip Jaiswal as Bihar’s most corrupt leaders, he has drawn clear battle lines. His allegations of property deals during the pandemic, fraudulent academic titles, and misuse of public funds aim to present Jan Suraj as the only alternative to both NDA and RJD.
His criticism of Tejashwi Yadav and family politics adds another dimension, positioning Jan Suraj against dynastic rule. As Bihar gears up for political change, Kishor’s Bihar Badlav Yatra is emerging as a movement centered on accountability, transparency, and people-first governance.
With elections on the horizon, his promise of strict action within three months of forming government is likely to shape the political conversation in Bihar. Whether his strategy translates into electoral success remains to be seen, but his aggressive stand has already energized debates across the state.
