Patna, Dec 17 (NationPress) The Jan Suraaj Party, steered by Prashant Kishor, is reportedly grappling with substantial internal issues as notable leaders stepped down from its core committee on Tuesday.
This occurrence arises prior to the announcement of the Bihar Assembly elections, stirring worries regarding the party's stability.
Former Union Minister Devendra Prasad Yadav and former MP M Hasan have both resigned from the party's 125-member state core committee.
Both leaders mentioned “unavoidable reasons” for their departures but did not elaborate on the specifics.
In his resignation communication, Devendra Prasad Yadav expressed, “I voluntarily resign from your 125-member state core committee due to unavoidable reasons.”
Likewise, Hasan, in his correspondence, acknowledged the establishment of the 125-member core committee but noted, “Due to unavoidable reasons, I will not be a part of the core committee, and our resignation should be accepted.”
Despite his resignation from the committee, Hasan clarified that he has no immediate intention of departing from the party.
These resignations underscore increasing dissatisfaction within the party's ranks and pose a challenge for Prashant Kishor as he seeks to strengthen the Jan Suraaj Party's standing ahead of the elections.
Upon joining the Jan Suraaj Party, Prashant Kishor had hoped to garner the backing of Muslim and Yadav voters through Hasan and Devendra Prasad Yadav, and their exit from the core committee undoubtedly represents a setback for the party.
The Jan Suraaj Party, under Prashant Kishor, recently suffered significant losses in the Bihar Assembly bye-elections, failing to win any of the four contested seats.
The party experienced severe defeats in Ramgarh, Tarari, and Belaganj constituencies, which highlights its difficulty in gaining traction in these areas.
Nonetheless, there was a ray of hope in Imamganj, where the party's candidate Jitendra Paswan garnered a commendable number of votes.
On a more favorable note, the party's candidate performed better in the Tirhut Legislative Council bye-election, securing a second-place finish.
This outcome may indicate some budding support for Prashant Kishor’s initiatives in specific locales, even as the party grapples with broader challenges in establishing itself as a formidable political entity in Bihar.
