'Migrant Workers, Youth Real X Factor Of Bihar Elections, Not Women', Claims Prashant Kishor

Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor on Saturday claimed that women are not the X factor in the ongoing Bihar Assembly Elections, but migrant workers and the youth are.

While talking to the media in Supaul, the poll strategist-turned-politician claimed that the youth and migrant workers are determined to vote for change.

Claiming that they voted for Ja Suraaj Party, Kishor said, "Migrant workers are coming back home in large numbers to vote along with their families. Migrant workers used to vote for the NDA in the past because they had no alternative".

He also hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that he used to get the votes of migrants and young people by instigating a fear of RJD's 'Jungle Raj'. However, he added, the prime minister will not get their votes this time.

He added, "The PM earlier used to get votes of migrant workers and people in general by spreading fear of RJD's 'jungle raj'. However, he is unable to get a sense of the current ground situation. People who apprehended the resurgence of 'jungle raj' in Bihar can see an alternative this election in Jan Suraaj".

He also claimed that the 'vote chori' allegation of the Congress and Mahagathbandhan is also a non-issue in the Bihar polls.

"Ask any person on the street, nobody's name was deleted from the electoral rolls in the seats that went to the polls in the first phase," he said.
