Jan Suraaj Party's Winning Formula

Kishor, on the question about the winning possibility of Jan Suraaj Party, explained the winning formula of his party. He claimed that his party would get votes of 28 per cent voters who neither voted for the NDA nor INDIA bloc.

"In the last polls, the two alliances bagged votes of 72 per cent of voters only. I must clarify that we will get votes of the remaining 28 per cent of the voters. Besides, people say that Jan Suraaj Party will get 10 per cent votes each of both alliances. That means we are expected to get 48 per cent votes of the total electorate in the coming polls," he said.

The Bihar assembly elections is scheduled to be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, while votes will be counted on November 14, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar announced in Delhi earlier in the day.
