Under the pressure of Jan Suraj, the government will increase pension, 2 thousand if he comes to power: Prashant Kishore

Vaishali, June 21 (IANS). Prashant Kishore, the architect of Jan Suraj, visited Vaishali and Samastipur districts on Saturday under the ‘Bihar Parivartan Yatra’. During this time, in Vaishali, he gave his view of Jan Suraj’s journey so far the policy of government and political opponents. Prashant Kishore said that the Jan Suraj Abhiyan takes on the form of a political party on October 2, 2024 and that it became the largest organization in the state in a few months today. He claimed that Jan Suraj was formed with the participation of one Crore people and that three to four Lakh people joined by paying a membership fee of Rs 10 per month. On May 20, 2025, ‘Bihar Parivartan Yatra’ began JP’s birthplace Sitab Diara, which aims to change the entire system and connect the public with this campaign. Prashant Kishore responded to the increase in age pension by the Nitish government and described it as a result of Jan Suraj’s political power. He said the government had increased the pension from 400 to Rs 1.100. If the government of Jan Suraj is established after November, it will be made at Rs 2,000. He claims that the government in this era of inflation did injustice to the elders, and that this decision should be made after the ongoing efforts of Jan Suraj. Prashant Kishore also strongly attacked BJP president Dilip Jaiswal. He said that Jaiswal must first investigate how he became the owner of the college where the clerk was. He demanded that Jaiswal say how many leaders of his college studied medical. Jaiswal made false allegations against Jan Suraj and him, though he didn’t even understand the basic difference of social media. Prashant Kishore also dropped to national leaders while attacking the politics of the family. He said that Lalu Yadav is not concerned about the Yadav society, but only the concern of Tejashwi. Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi also do politics of their family, not their society. He challenged the two leaders to show him from his family by making a worthy person of his society the leader of the party. He said that Jan Suraj is the beginning of an alternative politics, in which policies and leadership will be decided by public participation. Now the people of Bihar will not do political bound labor, and if the old parties do not work, the public will uproot them. -Ians psk/abm shares this story tags
