In the initial trends of counting of votes for Bihar Assembly elections, the picture looks disappointing for Prashant Kishor’s party Jansuraj, with the BJP-led NDA taking the lead. In the initial trends, the party does not seem to be getting even a single seat at present. Responding to this, party president Manoj Bharti said that his party itself failed to convey its message properly to the people.
Manoj Bharti’s statement
Bihar Jansuraj President Manoj Bharti said, ‘We were trying to bring new politics in Bihar from the beginning. It is not an easy task to convey this to the public. Prashant Kishore always used to say that if people understand what we say then we will be on top, if they do not understand then we will fail. It is clear from these initial trends that the public has failed to understand us and we have failed to understand the public.
