Jan Suraaj Party founder and newly elected Bankipur MLA Prashant Kishor made his first constituency visit after his by-election victory on Tuesday, 11 August, attending a series of gratitude meetings across the ward and laying out an ambitious agenda centred on employment, education, ration cards, and pensions.

Jobs at the Centre of Kishor's Agenda

Kishor announced plans to secure private-sector employment for at least 10,000 youths from Bankipur within the next one year. He urged educated young people to submit their résumés at the Jan Suraaj office, saying he had already reached out to individuals and organisations across the country to map opportunities. 'If your child is educated, submit their resume to my office. We will immediately arrange jobs for at least 10,000 youths from here,' he said at one of the gatherings. Kishor further claimed that once the Jan Suraaj system was fully established in Bihar, youth migration to other states in search of work would end.

School Reform Within One Year

Education was an equally prominent thread in Kishor's address. He promised to improve the condition of government schools in Bankipur within one year. If those improvements were not delivered, he said he would personally arrange private-school education for children from the constituency — and assured parents they would not have to bear the fees. He framed the promise as a personal accountability pledge, not merely a policy commitment.

Ration Cards, Pensions, and a Three-Month Deadline

Kishor sought three months to resolve long-standing grievances around ration cards and pensions. He claimed that after this period, residents would not be required to pay a bribe to obtain a ration card, and that ration card holders would receive five kilograms of food grains. Separately, residents aged above 60 who are not currently receiving the ₹1,100 monthly pension were invited to submit applications at his office, with Kishor pledging to pursue their cases within the same three-month window.

Political Jab at Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary

Kishor took aim at Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, arguing that the Bankipur by-election result had already shifted Bihar's political discourse. 'Ever since the Bankipur results were declared, there has been no talk of encounters in Bihar; instead, the conversation revolves around education and employment every day. This is the power of your vote,' he said. He claimed that while the political leadership had not changed, the government's working style had, by his assessment — a pointed reference to his campaign argument that defeating the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would alter the Chief Minister's style of functioning.

Student Protests and the Examination System

Kishor also commented on student protests in Jharkhand over an alleged paper leak, drawing a parallel with demonstrations at Jantar Mantar in Patna. He argued that young people distressed by alleged paper leaks, a dysfunctional education system, and unemployment would inevitably take to the streets, and alleged that politicians responsible for these problems were responding with police action rather than solutions. He called for urgent attention to education, employment, and examination integrity — issues he identified as the defining concerns of Bihar's youth. His first day in the constituency included a memorial programme at Shaheed Ram Govind Singh Girls' High School in Dashratha, followed by resident interactions at Yarpur Rajputana, Hanuman Path in Jakkanpur, and the Grand Palace Hall at Langartoli Chowk in Ward 40.
