Earlier Kishor, who founded ‘Jan Suraaj Party recently, urged the people of Bihar not to vote on the basis of ‘jaat’ (caste) and ‘bhaat’ (ration) in the larger interest of their future generation. ‘Jan Suraaj Party’, is making its debut in electoral politics by contesting all four seats in by-election.While Mohammad Amjad has been fielded from Belaganj, Jitendra Paswan from Imamganj, Sushil Kumar Singh Kushwaha from Ramgarh and Kiran Singh from Tarari. ‘Jan Suraaj Party’ has been allotted a school bag as its symbol by the election commission.However, three of the four candidates of Jan Suraaj Party are facing criminal charges. Belganj candidate Mohammad Ajmad is facing five criminal cases, including an attempt to murder.Similarly, Imamganj nominee Jitendra Paswan has two pending cases. Ramgarh candidate Sushil Kushwaha has one criminal case pending against him. They have made declarations about criminal cases in their respective affidavits.This is in sharp contrast to Prashant Kishor’s declaration to give tickets to candidates with clean image only.
