Bihar election 2025: Jan Suraaj -Party from Prashant Kishor will dispute the upcoming Bihar meetings on the ‘School Bag’ symbol. The India Electoral Commission awarded the ‘school bag’ as the general election symbol to Prashant Kishor’s party for the meeting for the meeting, which will be planned later this year. The pure panel has not yet announced the schedule of Bihar election 2025, which is likely to be held in October-November. As things stand, the schedule can be announced in the first week of October. The term of the current Bihar meeting ends on November 22, and the new government must take oath before. NDA vs India vs Prashant Kishor The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United), stands against the opposition India Bloc led by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in the election to the 243 member Bihar meeting. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is part of the NDA where the congress is at the India Bloc. Kishor’s party emerged as the third player who disputed his first election in the state. Why did Jan Suraaj ‘school bag’ choose as his poll symbol? “Our entire focus is on education and employment, which is why the school bag is our election symbol,” Kishor said by Indian Express, and welcomed the decision of the Electoral Commission. The school bag was removed from the back, which Jan Suraaj was formally launched by Kishor in October 2024 after his two -year Padayatra over Bihar. The party has announced plans to dispute all 243 meetings and position itself as an alternative to established parties – the JD (U), the RJD and Congress. “During the 35 years of Lalu-Nitical rule, the school bag was removed from the back of the children of Bihar and a bag of labor was tied to them,” he said. Jan Suraaj believes that education is the key to ending poverty, the creation of employment and the migration of Bihar, says Kishor, who worked as a political strategist before becoming a full -fledged politician. “Education is the biggest tool for eradicating poverty in Bihar,” he said. Jan Suraaj said it would field candidates in every constituency of the meeting, with at least 40 women. Last week, Kishor launched a shocking attack on the Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, RJD chief, Lalu Prasad Yadav, and Congress, who accused them of failing to bring the state to the state over the decades. Our entire focus is on education and employment, which is why the school bag is our election symbol. “For 40-45 years, you voted for the congress, and then you voted for Lalu Yadav for 15 years. For the past 20 years, Nitish Kumar has been the cm … but the life of the people of Vaishali has not changed yet … If you vote as I will tell you, you will make the right arrangements for your children’s education and workers here in Vaishali, ‘Speak’ ” ” n ‘in Vaishali.
