Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor on Tuesday acknowledged that his party was not successful in “changing the system” during the recently-concluded Bihar Assembly polls, and was unable to “even change the government”.
The former political strategist’s party had failed to win any seat in the Bihar Assembly election, despite contesting in 238 constituencies.
The party even lost its deposits in 236 seats as the candidates did not win even one-sixth of the total vote share.
“We came to Bihar three years ago to change the system and made an honest effort, but we did not succeed,” The Indian Express quoted Kishor as saying. “We couldn’t even change the government, but we have changed politics to some extent.”
“I own all the blame for the election results,” he further said and apologized for the debacle.
Kishor added that he will observe a day-long fast of silence at the Gandhi Bhitiharwa Ashram on Thursday as atonement for “failing to explain to the people of Bihar the basis on which they should vote and why they should create a new system”.
