Prashant Kishor launches Jan Suraaj Party, says Bihar's 'voice must reach Delhi'

You all need to say 'Jai Bihar' so loud that no one calls you and your children 'Bihari' and it feels like abuse. Your voice must reach Delhi. It must reach Bengal, where students from Bihar were beaten. It must reach Tamil Nadu, Delhi, and Bombay wherever Bihari children were abused and beaten," Prashant Kishor said.

His remark comes days after two people were arrested for harassing two youths who came to Bengal's Siliguri to take an exam.

At the beginning of the Jan Suraaj campaign, it was said that an important aim of this is to end the political helplessness under which in the last 25-30 years people voted for the BJP out of fear for Lalu Prasad due to the lack of any alternative. For this, the people of Bihar need to form a better alternative...That alternative should be a party of all the people of Bihar who want to form this together," he had said on September 30.

Prashant Kishor said Nitish Kumar isn't in the right physical, mental and political state to run Bihar.

"The Congress helped Lalu Prasad run a 'jungle raj' for 15 years. The people of Bihar completely uprooted the Congress. The BJP will suffer the same fate," he said.

He said backing Nitish Kumar is the BJP's political compulsion.

"It knows that its alliance will lose if he remains at the helm, but it is the political compulsion of the BJP," said.

Everyone in Congress wants to be Haryana CM, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said stability is a far-fetched thing for the Congress because of its infighting and now everyone in the party’s Haryana unit is jostling among themselves to become chief minister.

Addressing a rally in Hisar, Modi termed Congress as the most ‘dishonest and deceitful’ party in the country and had no concern for the public.

Modi further said that the people of Haryana have made up their minds to elect BJP for the third term and know that Congress has failed to fulfil its promises in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh and Telangana.

“As the election date is coming closer, Congress will meet the same fate as it did in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Congress leaders talk about their poll promises but ask them why their governments did not implement these promises in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh and Telangana. Our government in Haryana is procuring 24 crops on the MSP, whereas Congress-ruled states procure only 1-2 crops on the MSP,” the PM said adding that in Himachal Pradesh also Congress has backed out from fulfilling its poll promises.

Assam CM, Karnataka minister lock horns over semiconductor plant: ‘Congress's true colours’


The spat began when Kharge, son of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, suggested that semiconductor plants were being set up in states like Assam and Gujarat due to “political clout,” rather than a strong technological or research ecosystem.

Speaking in an interview, Kharge said, "Five semiconductor manufacturing units, four are in Gujarat, and one is in Assam, but they don't have the ecosystem of skills or innovation that Karnataka has."

His comments referred to the Tata Group's plans to establish a 26,000-crore semiconductor facility in Assam's Morigaon district, a major development project for the northeastern state.

In response, Sarma hit back at Kharge accusing the Congress leader of opposing Assam’s development. “Once again, Congress shows its true colours by opposing Assam's growth. A Karnataka minister claims that Assam has no right to host a semiconductor industry!" Sarma wrote, urging Assam Congress leaders to stand against what he called "divisive thinking

Kharge also criticised Sarma’s handling of other industries in Assam, asking why the state’s tea and paper mills had shut down and whether the government had provided undue subsidies to certain companies. He suggested that Assam needed to improve its skill base before claiming to be a hub for the semiconductor industry.

“CM saab, there is a lot we can learn from each other’s ecosystems. Stop pleasing your political masters and start skilling the State and get investments based on your strengths so that more people are employed

Sarma fired back, framing Kharge’s comments as evidence of Assam’s rising prominence. “In just 3 1/2 years, Assam has been elevated to a position where even Karnataka recognizes our achievements," he said, asserting that Assam was poised to become a key player in India’s semiconductor revolution.

On Tuesday, several BJP MLAs led a protest march in Jagiroad, where the semiconductor plant is being built, accusing Kharge of trying to undermine the project.

Kharge responded with another post on X, questioning why his defence of Karnataka’s interests was being framed as anti-Assam. “CM @himantabiswa ji, when you and PM @narendramodi defend your state’s interests, it's called a masterstroke. When I do the same for Karnataka, it's called unfair?”
