Prashant Kishor not contest Bihar assembly elections

Patna, Oct 15 (UNI) In a surprising move, the senior political strategist and Jan Suraj leader Prashant Kishor today announced that he will not contest elections from any constituency in Bihar, choosing instead to focus on party strategy and organizational work.
Amid speculations doing rounds in the political corridors regarding Kishor contesting from Raghopur Assembly Constituency, Kishor toured Raghopur to get the feedback of the local people for taking a final call on the issue, but later decided not to enter into the electoral battle.
In a statement to the media, Kishor, however, said that the decision regarding his candidacy was to be taken by the party. The Jan Suraj think tank decided that, due to his continuous engagements and the need to devote time to all constituencies, he would not contest from any seat personally, pleaded Kishor.
