Poll strategist and Indian Political Action Committee co-founder Prashant Kishor spoke to Republic Media Network hours after unveiling his political blueprint for his ‘Mission Bihar’. In an exclusive conversation with Republic TV, Prashant Kishore shed light on the previous government’s work in the state, declining Congress’ offer and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s offer to join his party.
What changes will Bihar witness through Good Governance?
“In my opinion, good governance is an ideology. Bihar has been ruled by Lalu and Nitish Ji for 30 years and they have also done some good work. At the time of Lalu Ji, there has been talking of social justice and giving voice to those who were economically backward. Even under Nitish Ji’s rule, he worked for development– roads were made, and electricity supply. But the other aspect is that despite all this, today after 30 years, Bihar is the poorest state. Even today, on most parameters of development, Bihar is the lowest-ranked state in the country. It tells that Bihar cannot develop on the path that it has been following for 10-15 years,and it won’t come in the category of leading states of the country,” Prashant Kishor told Republic.”
“From 2nd October, I will start a 3000 km padayatra from Gandhi Ashram in West Champaran and will meet every person of Bihar whom it is necessary and will try to connect them with the concept of good governance. I will spend the next three-four years reaching out to people. The solution is good governance and collective contribution of the people of the Bihar,” he added.
