In its writ petition, Jan Suraaj had alleged large-scale irregularities in last year's elections in Bihar in which the NDA won, and sought fresh polls.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the party’s National Council held on Saturday in Patna in the presence of party founder Prashant Kishor.
Prashant Kishor announced that the Jan Suraaj Party will launch the 'Bihar Navnirman Sankalp Yatra' on January 15. As part of the movement, party workers, including him, will visit all houses in Bihar.
Acknowledging that the party failed to bring about the systemic change it had promised, he announced that party leaders would observe a day-long ‘maun-vrat’ (silent fast) on Thursday at the Bhitiharwa Gandhi Ashram as an act of penance.
During the campaign, Kishor had predicted a sweeping victory, claiming the party would either win the most seats or come last, with no middle ground. However, his electoral plank, centred on education, unemployment and law and order, did not translate into votes.
Making the announcement, Prashant Kishor said that 31 of the 65 candidates in the second list belong to the Extremely Backward Class (EBC), highlighting that no other party has given so many tickets to EBC candidates so far.
Singh made the remarks after inducting Saurabh, spokesperson of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), and a leader from Aurangabad, into his party.
On July 18, 2025, Ritesh Pandey formally joined the Jan Suraaj Party in Patna, in presence of Prashant Kishor and former IPS officer Jaiprakash Singh.
Allegations made by Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor against BJP and JD(U) leaders ahead of the assembly elections could potentially deepen the crisis for the two major political parties in Bihar.
Prashant Kishor wanted to meet Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and present a memorandum with the signatures of 1 crore people in support of the three key demands.
