The Mahagathbandhan had called for a bandh against the voter list amendment campaign being run by the Election Commission in Bihar. During this, Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav also participated in the protest in Patna. However, during this protest, the security personnel did not allow NSUI national in-charge Kanhaiya Kumar and Pappu Yadav to board the truck, the video of which went viral and this issue became a topic of discussion. Now Jan Suraj Party chief Prashant Kishore has said a big thing about this issue and Kanhaiya Kumar. Prashant Kishore has said that the RJD leadership is afraid of people like Kanhaiya Kumar.
What did Prashant Kishore claim?
Jan Suraj Party founder Prashant Kishor said in Sitamarhi, “Kanhaiya Kumar is one of the most influential leaders of the Congress party in Bihar… The RJD leadership is so scared of people like Kanhaiya Kumar that they feel that if a new person comes, he will challenge the leadership. RJD will never want leaders like him or other influential leaders to be active in Congress… Congress has no base in Bihar… Congress in Bihar only does what the RJD leadership decides.”
What did PK say on voter list revision?
Jan Suraj Party founder Prashant Kishore said, “Many people are against the voter list. Elections were held in Bihar just a year ago. The Election Commission itself made the voter list. The Prime Minister has been elected. What happened in 1 year that the entire list needs revision? Our demand is that the list that was used for the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 should be used here as well. Amendments can be made to it…
There is an NDA government in Bihar for the last 1 year, so are they accepting that infiltrators are living in Bihar during their tenure.” Prashant Kishore has said that Article 326 of the Constitution gives the right to vote. Every eligible Indian citizen above the age of 18 in India has the fundamental right to vote. Similarly, we are saying that every citizen of Bihar above the age of 18 should have the right to vote in the upcoming elections. You cannot deprive him of it by trapping him in this useless document. The Election Commission has no right to check citizenship. This is the decision of the Supreme Court. This is beyond the jurisdiction of the Election Commission.”
