Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary's proposal for subject-specific universities, like Physics or Mathematics, has sparked debate. Choudhary envisions Bihar as a knowledge hub, citing a lack of specialized institutions. However, Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor has questioned the practicality of such universities and previously raised concerns about Choudhary's educational qualifications.

Prashant Kishor, the visionary behind Jan Suraaj, has taken residence at the newly established Bihar Navnirman Ashram, located near IIT-Patna. He's committed to remaining there until a notable transformation takes root in Bihar ahead of the upcoming 2030 assembly elections.

Prashant Kishor has relocated to a Patna ashram until the Bihar assembly polls, aiming for his jan suraaj party to make an impact after a previous electoral setback. He criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's son's cabinet induction and urged voters to prioritize their future over caste or monetary inducements, warning of potential economic challenges from West Asian conflicts.

Actor-turned-politician Vijay Thalapathy's new party, TVK, has entered Tamil Nadu's political arena, aiming to disrupt the long-standing duopoly of DMK and AIADMK. While exit polls suggest a notable debut, projections vary, with some indicating TVK could act as a spoiler by splitting anti-incumbency votes.

Exit polls present a stark contrast for Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam in the 2026 Tamil Nadu elections. While most predict a spoiler role with 10-24 seats, one outlier suggests a Kejriwal-like breakthrough of 98-120 seats. The outcome hinges on converting star power into grassroots strength, unlike Prashant Kishor's Bihar debut.

In a noteworthy encounter in Patna, Tej Pratap Yadav, the son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, held a private discussion with Prashant Kishor, the visionary behind Jan Suraaj.

An Enforcement Directorate investigation into political consultancy firm I-PAC has ignited a major political clash in West Bengal. The probe, initially focused on money laundering, has escalated into a confrontation involving raids and arrests. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee's alleged intervention during a raid has become a central point of contention, with both parties trading accusations ahead of crucial elections.

Prashant Kishor, the visionary behind Jan Suraaj, criticized Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s leap to the Rajya Sabha, branding it a move that was clearly orchestrated. He emphasized that the ruling government is devoid of authentic public support. While addressing a gathering in Buxar, Kishor raised concerns about a chief minister who might be influenced from Gujarat.

Prashant Kishor on Wednesday officially launched the jan suraaj party in Bihar's Patna, emphasising the need for a robust education system funded by the removal of the state's liquor ban. The launch followed a 3,000-km 'padayatra' aimed at addressing Bihar's backwardness and mobilising people for a new political alternative.

jan suraaj party, founded by Prashant Kishor, appointed former BJP MP Uday Singh as its first national president on Monday.
