Efforts to Woo Muslims

If we get the support of Muslims, we can bring about a big change not only in Bihar but also in the politics of Uttar Pradesh." His message is clear that Jan Suraaj wants to present itself as the third alternative through Hindu-Muslim unity, which can be a challenge for both BJP and Mahagathbandhan.
Direct Attack on Nitish
Prashant Kishor was once considered very close to Nitish Kumar. In the 2015 elections, he had prepared the entire roadmap for Nitish Kumar's return. But now the same Prashant Kishor is constantly targeting the Nitish government. Recently, he had said that Chief Minister Nitish is no longer in a position to run the government and people should look beyond him. This statement makes it clear that Prashant Kishor is now directly challenging Nitish Kumar in the electoral arena.
The Aim of Jan Suraaj

He says that if Muslims and some Hindu communities support him, Jan Suraaj will completely change the electoral equation.
Emphasis on Hindu-Muslim Unity
In his speech, Prashant Kishor repeatedly emphasized Hindu-Muslim unity. He said that if 40 percent of Hindus and 20 percent of Muslims unite, the victory of any political party can be ensured.

Preparation from Bihar to UP
Prashant Kishor's focus is not limited to Bihar only. He says that if Jan Suraaj gets success in Bihar, this model will be implemented in Uttar Pradesh as well. He believes that a b opposition is needed to challenge Yogi Adityanath's government in UP and Jan Suraaj can play this role.
Creating Atmosphere with 'Bihar Badlav Yatra'
For the promotion of his party, Prashant Kishor is running 'Bihar Badlav Yatra'. Through this journey, he is directly interacting with people at the ground level and listening to their problems. Political experts believe that this yatra is part of the strategy to prepare a vote bank for Jan Suraaj.
