In a recent address to the Bihari diaspora community in the United States, Prashant Kishor, a political strategist-turned-leader, described Bihar as a "literally a failed state," highlighting the state’s deep-rooted challenges in terms of governance and development. Kishor, who launched the Jan Suraaj party in October 2024, stressed that Bihar faces severe issues requiring tremendous efforts for its recovery and growth. His comments, part of a virtual interaction with the Bihari community, were clear in their focus on the lack of hope in the state's future, yet Kishor remains optimistic about the potential for change.

During the address, Kishor outlined Bihar's stark population growth, noting that if Bihar were a country, it would be the 11th largest country by population, surpassing Japan. He emphasized the gravity of the state’s situation, calling it "in deep shit" and citing the urgent need for transformation across various developmental parameters. “We have just overtaken Japan in terms of population,” he remarked, underlining the immense pressure Bihar faces.

Kishor's Jan Suraaj party has encountered challenges in its early political journey, failing to make a significant impact in the recent bypolls for four assembly seats in Bihar, where the NDA won all four constituencies. Despite this setback, Kishor remains confident about his party's prospects in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, stating that Jan Suraaj will win and promising significant reforms if they take power.

“The biggest challenge is that society has become hopeless about improving the situation of Bihar,” Kishor acknowledged, but also noted that “Some hope is definitely there because of what we have been doing in the last two and a half years.” He stressed the long-term commitment required to bring about change, stating that it would take five to six years of continuous effort to convert this hope into a tangible electoral outcome and effective governance.

One of the key promises of the Jan Suraaj party, according to Kishor, would be to improve education in Bihar, specifically focusing on school education. Kishor proposed funding these efforts through the revenue generated by lifting the statewide alcohol ban, which he believes could generate significant financial resources to support this initiative.

Looking ahead to 2029-2030, Kishor expressed his ambition for Bihar to become a middle-income state, but acknowledged that such transformation would take time and substantial effort. “It is literally a failed state as it stands today on all developmental parameters,” Kishor emphasized.

In his call to the Bihari diaspora in the US, Kishor urged them to actively engage in supporting the Jan Suraaj party and ensure a win in the 2025 elections. "Start calling your friends and relatives to support and vote for Jan Suraaj," he urged, appealing to the community’s influence.

With Bihar's future on the line, Prashant Kishor’s confidence in his party's success rests on the belief that long-term, committed efforts will lead to the change the state desperately needs. Whether his Jan Suraaj party can deliver on these lofty promises and overcome the challenges ahead remains to be seen.
