Poll strategist Prashant Kishore is eager to become a third alternative to both BJP and the mahagathbandhan led by Nitish Kumar in Bihar. Kishore embarked on a ‘suraj yatra’ across Bihar, proclaiming himself a true Bihari and son of the soil. He promises to contest all state seats in the upcoming election. Campaigning about his past successes as a poll manager in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh, he cleverly avoids mentioning his role in BJP’s 2014 Lok Sabha victory, focusing on his part in state-level victories instead.
