PATNA, May 23 -- A statement from Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor that he was not in the state to become chief minister, but to realise his dreams of a progressive Bihar, on Thursday evoked sharp reactions from all the mainstream political parties. "I am working hard to see a developed Bihar, where people from other states could come for livelihood. People say whoever I helped became the CM in the last 10 years. But I left that work three years ago, as I realised that after winning, they also joined the old trend, doing nothing for the people. You remained where you were, while your leaders flew in helicopters," he added. In a jibe at RJD chief Lalu Prasad, PK said, "He wants to make his son CM, who could not clear Class 9, and that is the only issue for him, while many graduates and post-graduate sons remain jobless." BJP wasted no time in hitting back at PK. "If he has the calibre, why could he not reach any House? Talking big is easier. Bihar people know him and they will show him his place," said BJP spokesperson Prabhakar Mishra. JD(U) spokesperson Manish Yadav said PK was not even capable of winning a mukhiya election. "His lone objective is to sell ticket and mint money. He is confused and ignorant. He does not know that people from other states are already working here," he added. RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari said Jan Suraaj was the 'B' team of the BJP and everyone was aware of it. "He will not be even in the role of vote splitter this time. He is sermoning, but people know at whose behest he is here," he added. Congress spokesperson Gyan Ranjan said it was PK's arrogance that was getting manifested. "He handled the publicity for other parties. He was not into policy making. The parties win on their ideology and programmes,"he added. However, a former professor of Tata Institute of Social Sciences said that PK was a largely unknown package in Bihar politics and it was quite natural for the political parties to be cautious and apprehensive about which way he would ultimately impact. "Bihar politics has for long been triangular in nature involving the three mainstream parties - RJD, BJP and JD(U) - and any two sides getting together have proved too much for the third. Rest of the political parties in Bihar have only rallied round the three, including some important players like the Congress, Left, LJP, HAM-S, VIP or a few others. But PK is an unknown package so far," he added. Last time, AIMIM did try to go solo and also won five Assembly seats from Seemanchal, but four of them later joined the RJD to emphasise how vulnerable other parties could be. Former director of AN Sinha Institute of Social Studies DM Diwakar said in a state where election was keenly fought and margin of error small, parties would play down PK at their own risk and their outbursts were a reflection of their insecurity. "He appears to be a serious player not to be the fourth option in Bihar politics, but to challenge the existing big three. Time will tell how far he goes, but he is certainly giving people something to ponder in a state where politics has stagnated. Some big political names are also joining him as they see something positive in him," he added....
