Prashant Kishor, the convenor of Jan Suraj, disclosed his fee as an election strategist. He charges over Rs 100 crore for advising political parties and leaders. This revelation came on October 31 during his campaign for the upcoming by-elections in Bihar.
Addressing the Audience
At an event in Belaganj, Kishor spoke to a gathering that included members of the Muslim community. He noted that many people often ask how he funds his campaigns.
Confident Claims
“Ten governments in different states are running on my strategies,” Kishor stated confidently. He continued, “Do you think I won’t have enough money to set up tents and canopies for my campaign? Do you think I’m that weak?”
Unique Fees in Bihar
Kishor emphasized, “In Bihar, no one has heard of fees like mine. If I advise someone in just one election, my fee is Rs 100 crore or even more.” He explained that with one election advice, he could fund his campaign for the next two years.
