Is This the End for Prashant Kishor in Bihar? Total Defeat or Hidden Victories ? Detailed Analysis.
Shubhankar Mishra
Don't be so proud of your victory, you fool. I've lost all the talk about your victory in this city. People from Jansuraj and Prashant Kishore's party are saying the same thing. Because it's true. The one who was sitting outside Bihar and was watching that every PK video is getting millions of views.
Every channel is showing only PK. The one who has come out of Bihar is talking about empty boxes. And for the first time, instead of caste, a politician is asking for votes on jobs, jobs, education, literacy, students. But there is something special about Bihar. People in Bihar talk about something, but vote in their own ways. And this is what about Bihar. People in Bihar say something,
but vote in their own way.
And this is what makes Bihar special.
Because it is said about Bihar,
that whenever a politician, an actor, an artist, a journalist, or a politician feels that he has become so capable that he has read and understood Bihar, then Bihar introduces him to reality. It gives him a reality check. And this time, Bihar has done this with the most intelligent politician in politics, Prashant Kishore.
The Prashant Kishore, who was the first person to become PM after Modi's speech. The Prashant Kishore became PM in tough times due to Nitish Kumar campaign. Prashant Kishore made Mrinder the CM in Punjab. Kejriwal was made the CM of Andhra Pradesh. He made Kejriwal win the Modi election. In 2020, when ISR saw his glory in Andhra Pradesh, he made the whole machinery of the party in Bengal,
and he made the BJP lose. And by saying that he lost, he made Mamata win in front of the BJP. Prashant Kishore, when he left Bihar and spent 3 years working day and night travelling thousands of kilometers
spent millions of rupees interviewed thousands of people but when the result came out then Babu he started from where the counting started.
Zero.
And today everyone is saying that the biggest failure in the Bihar elections is Prashant Kishore. The biggest failure. If there is a big discussion outside Bihar about something, then it is that Prashant Kishore really doesn't win a single seat. And he only got 3% votes. I mean, even if you get 3% votes, it happens. A lot of candidates who are angry, just make them stand in different places, who don't get tickets.
Even he gets so many votes. the Prashant Kishore had given thousands of interviews. Was this just a show? Or did PK get anything? What will happen to PK now? Will he really leave politics? Will PK return to his old business? Will Bihar, which was sent by the political authorities,
work for Bihar again? This question is on social media. Someone is writing a story about PK, saying, thank you PK, Bihar don't deserve you. Someone is saying, that it was not necessary to be so arrogant,
you overestimated yourself. Even a good doctor does not treat himself, he treats others.
But I felt that when all the emotions Even a good doctor doesn't treat himself, he treats others. But I felt that when the whole feeling of PQK is being spread on social media, someone is writing a thank you note to PKK saying that people of Bihar sold out in 10,000, and finally, the vote will be given to the same thieves.
So I felt that let's do an analysis. Let's do an analysis of what's next for PK. Because both sides are talking about PK. One is saluting the people of Bihar. The other is questioning the people of Bihar. Although I divide Bihar into two parts. One that has come out divide Bihar into two parts. One, who has left Bihar.
Those who have gone to the Bihar elections, they understand that those who have left Bihar, they understand what PK is saying. PK is talking about what Bihari does in Delhi. That electricity should come,
water should come, houses should be built, jobs should be created, refugees should be eliminated. But Bihar is different. Bihari people are emotional. And that's why we'll do the analysis today. We request you to join our WhatsApp channel so that our relationship can be deeper.

Get started freeBihari people love us a lot. We are a little sad that we couldn't do a lot of ground reports. But still, join us. Our relationship is strong. We'll keep coming to Bihar in the future. We've given the link in the description and comment section. Now let's start with Bihar.
Bihar is the land where the pride of the great politicians is shattered. Remember, in 2015, Modi ji won and left. Where did he lose for the first time? In Bihar. This is the soil that often smashes the supercomput knowledge, think tank and the supercomputers of strategy. Here, every election is a new election, every result is new and brings a new story. And that is why, after listening to Prashant Kishore's story, I remember a couplet, There is a poem by Mir Takhi, that what is the point of crying in love?
Look ahead and see what happens. But before we go ahead, let's first talk about why Prashant Kishore lost. Prashant Kishore is known as the Indian politician Chanak. And he was also a fan of Chanak. It was no joke to defeat Modi in front of the UPA,
then to defeat him in Bihar, then to defeat Modi in Bengal. The Congress that they defeat in Punjab, they defeat the same Congress in Delhi. They make YSR win, they do Khela Hobe in Bengal. It felt like Prashant is going to the one who is winning. But when Prashant came to the field, he came down himself, he put all his power, he put all his resources and he claimed that he will write a new chapter in Bihar's politics, his experiment was rejected. And there are many reasons for this. And we will tell you some of the reasons.
Why does BJP win? Why does India win? It has its own reason. The reason behind this is the 10,000 Didi, Modi's magic, Lok Sabha's 240 seats, emotional sentiment, Nitish's administration, women's movement, all these are his stories. We will talk about Prashant Kishore. The first reason for Prashant Kishore's defeat was the caste system in Bihar, which is the truth of Bihar's politics. In Bihar's politics, caste is the truth which is the basis of every political system. Whether you agree or not.
In UP and Bihar, a person does all the politics, and in the end, he votes for his leader. And the caste system that he makes right, he wins. There is no status of winning alone in Bihar. In this election, even if Modi ji fought alone, he would have lost. the If you want to win, you have to follow the caste system. This is not the state where you can get a single egg if you follow the caste system. And Prasad Babu got the same egg.
Yes, he got the same egg. Lalu Yadav had two castes. Yadav Muslim. He wanted to add more castes. He was trying to add more castes. But they couldn't. And the two castes they had, Yadav and Muslim,
they cut them off. So, they came down from the highest party. Along with BJP and Savarnas, a vote bank for Hindutva was also set up. They brought a vote bank for non-Yadav. So, they were getting the benefit.
If you see, Nitish Kumar went to women, he had his own caste, Paswanji had his own caste, Manjhi had her own caste. So, the reason for all this was his story. And this was the reason for them to win. If this hadn't happened, the matter would have been a mess. So, caste is a big truth of Bihar. the Finally, the button gives us the benefit. And what is our caste?
That's all it looks at. And this is the harsh truth. This has been going on for 40 years. And it will be destroyed in time. The second loss of Prashant Kishore was that his identity remained external.
Prashant is from Bihar. He was born in Bihar. But he stayed outside.
And that's why the tag of being an outsider was put on him. He is from Bihar, he was born in Bihar, but he lived abroad. And that's why he is tagged as an outsider.
Because he studied in Harvard, worked in Sanyutransh, then went with Modi ji. So he has style in his language, everything. Although he tried hard to stay in kurta-pajama, keep his beard, keep his hair in style. But a Bihari man prefers his own style. He is our man. Laluji's broken Hindi, broken English, his style, it lasted for many years.
The village style that he used to demand, the Biharis used to like it. Nitish Babu's simple style, he is a very simple man, like us. Very common man. That simplicity, that cycle journey, Bihari Asmita's talks, he gives a local touch, a feel.
And BJP was also on local issues this time, they were increasing the local leaders. What was the problem with PK? That these people were making PK an outsider.
Many times, this accusation was made that he is a Delhi Babu. the people were calling PK an outsider.
Sometimes they accused him of being a Delhi man. He gets off the car and puts on his shirt.
Although he tried,

That was a problem with him. Then, the Janswar was against it was that there is no caste, no religion, only development, administration, employment, issues. The youth of Bihar saw a new Bihar. They hoped that the caste system would be broken. But the supporters were not ready. Because in Bihar, we are saying again,
first of all, the external, and then the caste. In Bihar, caste is not just a place for caste, it is a place for power, respect and freedom. So, the narrative of bringing everyone together is a mess. Let's assume that Prashant Kishore lost. Nitish Ji gave Rs. 10,000, Modi Ji got a vote in 2024, he got a sympathy vote, Chirag came along, RJD Mahagatbandhan, they distributed wrong seats, it was an aggressive campaign, all that is a matter of time.
We are talking about Prashant Kishore, he is a coward. Prashant Kishore is known as the Chanak of Indian politics. And it was necessary to call him Chanak. The man who defeated Modi in front of UPA, then when he was at the peak, he defeated Modi for the first time, then he played Modi in Bengal and made him go abroad, when the whole machinery was there. He defeated Congress
in Punjab, then he defeated Congress in Delhi with Aam Aadhi Party, then he defeated ISR in Andhra. It seemed that P.K. won the elections. But when P.K. became the Jansuraj, he used politics in Bihar. The people rejected him. To understand this, we will explain why Bihar is in a mess.
In Bihar's politics, caste is the truth. P.K. is trapped in the web of caste. You go to Bihar is a place where caste is a truth. And this is what is trapped in the web of caste. You go to Bihar, you will realize that Bihari people will talk about everything. Education, development, etc. But they are trapped in the web of caste. And they are unable to understand this.
This is the truth there. The math of vote bank starts and ends with casteism. If you think that you can win without casteism, then you will face the same fate as BJP in 2015 and Chirag Paswan in 2020. Casteism is a big truth. You have to win by winning. Lalu Yadav runs the MY factor.
Nitish Kumar, Kurmi Koiri, Ati Pishravarg, BJP, Savarnuksaad, Hindutva. They try to unite us. But they fail. You have to see. No one can win alone. This was the case in the last election.
PK came with a lot of courage. He took a risky bet. Neither caste nor religion, only development, administration, education, employment, health. He will win. He told the youth of Bihar that
the new Bihar will break the wall of caste. There will be an opportunity for everyone. But the supporter of Bihar will break the wall of caste. Everyone will have an opportunity. But the Bihari voters were not ready. Here, caste is not just a social identity, but a way to reach power, respect and successors. The narrative of PK's support for everyone was discussed,
but it was not voted. And it was discussed because PK was very active in interviews. The Bihari immigrants were liking PK. The discussion was also because PK was very active in the interviews. The Bihari travellers were liking PK because he had lived in Delhi and they understood. They had seen the world and they knew Delhi was needed. But in Bihar, there were other needs.
And that is why the RJD of Lalu gave the flag of social justice to Yadav Muslim voters. Nitish gave the greed of administration to the EBC Mahadalits. And BJP's Modi was supporting the non-Yadav OBC with Hindutva. He made a caste revolution. Look at BJP. BJP supported Nitish Ji.
After that, Paswan was with him. Manjhi Ji was with him. After that, they won. The idea of above caste was very crazy and revolutionary. the The person who studied in Harvard, worked in Uttar Pradesh, worked with Modi ji, Mamata ji, Amrinder, Kejriwal, with great men. Bihari men couldn't connect that much.
They went, they tried, changed their appearance, style, changed their clothes, in cold, in heat, fought for three years. But still, they were far from the rural politics. of He was a simple man. Look at his attire.
He worked hard, but the outside world kept on bothering him. And this image was created by the opposition. That they get off the car and throw a mat. All this was going on. Some people asked, where I came from. The reason was that there was no organization on the ground. The third factor is that politics is not only based on strategy but also on roots.
In many states, a political party loses and people say it's over. Then it comes back. It should have roots. Then the leaves come out. Prashant Kishore is his strategy. He is a master of data, survey and micro-management. But Bihar's politics is like a sweet.
It is like a cauliflower. One leaf is opened and another leaf is inside. One leaf is opened and another leaf is inside. This is the politics of Bihar. Here, we need a land organization, an army of workers, the local leaders' network is needed here. RJD has the decades-old cadre of Laluji, which has spread to the villages.
JDU has the experience of Niteshji's administration and the support of the local leaders. The BJP's strength is in its organization and RSS's grip. PK started from zero. Neither the party had workers, nor any crowd, nor any face. Their strategy was to create a new organization by encouraging the youth of Bihar. But voters in Bihar don't just look at enthusiasm, they also look at their own people.

Get started freeWho have been with them in good and bad times. There was a crowd in the rallies after seeing PK, but not in the vote. The campaign was in the discussion, but the workers were not able to get ready. to There is an emotional connection with PK. PK was heard by someone, but not supported. He was supported by people who were in the movement. PK was a little overconfident, with a lot of self-confidence.
Although, his confidence is his strength. I remember, in the Bengal elections, he said that BJP will leave everything if they get 100 seats. But this time, it became a weakness. The person who made the big leaders win, he accepted that Biharihar with the same formula.
Okay, he won. The country, Bengal won, Punjab won, Delhi won. Bihar also won with Nitish. But he forgot that Nitish Kumar was also there. Nitish had his own fan following. RGD also had a fan following, when he won 15.
With him, there was the organization. In Bihar, data alone cannot work. Corporate style campaigning cannot work. PK tried to understand Bihar. The campaigns, the visits to villages, the rallies are proof.
But he could not understand the depth of Bihar. His strategy was that he would challenge the old politics of Nitish and Lalu. But they forgot that the voters of Bihar want change, but do not want to take root. And this is a loss for them.
When Prashant Kishore had put the foundation of Jan Swaraj, he promised that Bihar would be free from caste, religion and politics. The strategy was clear. People are appreciating this. For the first time, a man was talking about this. The youth, the middle class, the middle class of Bihar
praised this. The migrants praised this. But this alone does not make a story. The youth of Bihar who are abroad, who are facing exile, they dream of a better future, a better job, education. But there is no revolution in one night.
There is no revolution in one night. This is what we say. Don't take it practically. Otherwise, some people will start crying on Twitter saying that you were saying this. Anyway, in the elections of 2025, Jansuraj's performance was disappointing. The party won by a small margin. His vote share was close to zero.
But did PK win anything? Did PK get a zero and remain a failure or did he win anything? He won. Defeat is a victory. Why did PK lose? PK, you have won. You win in a defeat, don't you? We have told you why PK lost. The world is watching what happened to him in the defeat. But what can he do in the middle of this defeat?
We will explain that to you. Did this defeat mean that Prashant Kishore's Bihar experiment was completely bad? No, it was not completely bad. His attempts have caused a stir in Bihar's politics, which may not be visible now, but may have an impact in the future. Today, there is a group in the PK, in which you can see sympathy on social media.
Someone is saying that Bihar don't deserve you.
Okay, he is a supporter of PK, media. Someone is saying that Bihar doesn't deserve you.
Okay, he is a supporter of PK. He is also an outsider. But if there is no work in the villages in a few years, if there is no work in the cities, if there is a problem of refugees, if there is a problem of unemployment,
if there is a problem of youth, then people will think that it wasn't like we didn't have a chance. A man came and asked us to vote for education, health, unemployment, inflation, industry, and immigration. We didn't vote for them. So, the touch that needs to be done, the hit that needs to be done,
P.K. has done that. What Manmohanji said, that history will do justice. PK will also do the same. PK brought those issues to the center of Bihar's politics which were only buried in the politics of caste and religion.
Issues like education, employment, refuge, administration have become a part of the discussions of Bihar's politics. His rallies and speeches have forced the old conflicts of Bihar and A new hope has been spread among the youth of Bihar. The hope did not change in the vote, but the crowd in their assemblies, and the discussion on social media, is proof that the youth of Bihar also want change. Yes, today, the migrant Bihari wants more,
the original Bihari wants less. But, let the discussion continue. This awakening can be the basis of a new movement in the future. PK challenged the old politics of Bihar. Exposed it. P.K. has challenged the old politics of Bihar. He exposed the old politics of Bihar.
He questioned politicians like Nitish and Lalu on the old politics of the past. And he tried to show how he used it only as a vote bank. Even though the public rejected it, there are many things that have entered the minds of people. People are thinking.

Get started freeEven after losing.
P.K.'s Jan Swor Raj was not an election campaign. It was the first step of a long political battle. Losing proved that change in Bihar is not easy. But the effort also showed that there is room for improvement. And this is what politics is all about. When we interviewed Prashant Kishore, we said that Kashi Ram was right.
Lose the first election, get the second one, third is a fight, fourth is a win. Now it is up to Prashant Kishore to learn from the defeat. If he can learn from the defeat, then Jan Swaraj can become a force in the future. Bihar has rejected PK, but that doesn't mean they didn't have the guts. It shows the political reality of Bihar has rejected PK, but that doesn't mean that they didn't have the guts to do so. It shows the political reality of Bihar. The people of Bihar still trust the leaders who provide the necessary recognition and immediate needs.
Nitish Kumar's image of a well-ruled man, Lal Uyadav's M.Y. Samikaran of the political parties has still come to Bihar.
PK's narrative of development and change could have attracted the citizens, educated and travellers.
But the real power of the vote in rural Bihar was not able to influence much.
Apart from this, PK had his own shortcomings.
He was passionate about politics, but was was a bit short of the ground reality.
His party lacked experienced leaders. His image was more of a manager. He could not become a public figure. The tag of an outsider started to bother him, that a man gets off the air-conditioner and then walks. In a state like Bihar, where people connect emotionally with their leaders, these shortcomings may be too much for them. But PK PKK is not the end, it can be the beginning.
If they learn from this defeat, they can strengthen Jan Swaraj in the future. Any suggestions they can make? They can strengthen the Land Organization. It's been a long time. Nitish ji is getting old. There is a vacuum in Bihar. Who is after Nitish ji? The BJP has no leader. Tejaswi has a tag. Congress has no leader. People know Prashant.
Prashant has a reputation. So if Prashant Kishore makes a strong collective structure, which includes local leaders and activists, and understands the caste system, even if they are against
caste, but you make a strong collective structure in Bihar, then the BJP will not be able to win. So if Prashant Kishore makes a strong, democratic party, which has local leaders and activists, and understands the caste system, even if it is against the caste system, you cannot ignore it completely in Bihar. And prepares for a long war,
because a revolution does not happen overnight. Land must be worked on, people must be trusted, BJP must be surrounded.
So it is possible that Prashant Kishore will do something big.
In the future.
But what can Prashant Kishore do? He has many options. He can stay in politics. One, it will be easy. No. Second,
he can go back to his old business. The career of a politician is not over. will political parties will call him. His report card is very strong. But would PK want to do this? Third, new appeal. PK has always been an experimenter. He might go in the direction of a social movement instead of politics. He might make a big change in the field of education and employment. He does a lot of experiments.
Fourth, the path and employment sector. He does a lot of experiments. The fourth way is to become a monk. It's the least likely. PK is around 40 years old. He is not going to sit quietly. Yes, if Bihar's defeat mentally breaks him, then he might go away from politics.

Prashant, we felt like we were the same in one aspect.
We can't sit peacefully.
We can't sit in peace. It's a kick to work. It feels good to work. We will not stop until we break. We felt that concept in their attitude. I thought they would try and get up again. It took a few days, but they got up again. Anyway, Prashant Kishore's story is incomplete. He is a warrior who remains in the battlefield even after losing many times.
His defeat has shown the complexity of Bihar's politics.
But in politics, no defeat is the last defeat. No defeat is the last defeat.
No defeat is the last defeat.
No defeat is the last defeat. He is a warrior who remains in the battlefield even after losing many times. His defeat has shown the complexity of Bihar's politics. But there is no end to defeat in politics. In 1994, Nitish Kumar started in a few people's rally. And today, he is the Chief Minister of Bihar for the longest time. Lalu Yadav had also gone to jail. His party is still a strong party in Bihar's politics. Prashant has experience, passion and talent. to But if we keep our talkative habits away from the protests, then we are the rulers.
But Prashant Kishore's story teaches us that politics is not just about strategy and technique. The people have to win the hearts of the people and it is not easy to win the hearts of Bihar. Bihar taught PK the same lesson that every great politician teaches. Here, you need not need politics, but patience, hard work, and time. PK Kihar's career is not over,
but the story can begin. He may get stronger by giving up. Bihar defeated him, but will he be able to defeat Bihar? The answer to this question will be heard. For now, the story ends where it started. Whenever you claim to understand Bihar,
Bihar explains to you that it's not that easy to understand Bihar. You are on the verge of failure. You give up. Or you try to win Bihar again. And till then this question is still there. What is next BK?
What is next BK? Restart or the end?
