Exclusive: Prashant Kishor claims Bihar polls were rigged, admits he has no proof

Jan Suraaj founder and former election strategist Prashant Kishor on Sunday addressed his party’s complete wipeout in the Bihar Assembly elections, alleging that the polls were “rigged”—while conceding he currently has no evidence to substantiate the claim. Kishor described the defeat as “crushing” but maintained that his campaign had strong grassroots momentum. He said the official voting pattern did not align with the feedback and support observed during his months-long Jan Suraaj yatra, suggesting that “something went wrong” in the process.
