Bihar Assembly Election 2025: Jan Suraaj founder and political strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor on Monday declared his income in a Bihar rally. He addressed the gathering and said he is not a “thief” like others and can clearly speak out about his earnings and what he did with it.

Kishor said he never charged any fee for giving advice to political parties, institutions or a company but when he entered politics, he changed this to earn money for society.

Addressing the gathering along with his supporters, the Jan Suraaj leader said, “In the last three years, I earned Rs 241 crore through advice that I gave to companies or individuals. Of this money, I paid Rs 30,98,68,764 in GST which was 18% of the income. I paid Rs 20 crore in income tax and donated Rs 98.95 crore to my Jan Suraaj Party.”

“Hum chor nahi hain (we are not thieves),” he said, in response to continuous questions by his rivals on where he gets the money from for political campaigns. BJP leader Sanjay Jaiswal, on multiple occasions, questioned Kishor’s source of income.

“He has acquired property worth Rs 200 crores. He said on camera that if even one kattha of land comes up, I (Ashok Chaudhary) will be a slave to Jan Suraaj. Now that the papers have been issued, you say that this is not your land. If it is your land, then don’t be a slave to Jan Suraaj, prepare to be a slave to the people of Bihar and resign… If you don’t resign, we will go to the Governor and the court. Action should be taken against him,” he added.

Not only this, Kishor also alleged that Bihar Deputy CM and BJP leader Samrat Choudhary is a “convicted murderer”, who is out because he proved with “wrong documents” that he was a minor. 

“(Bihar Deputy CM) Samrat Choudhary should be immediately arrested as he was convicted in a murder case in 1995 but released after the court wrongly ruled that he was a minor,” he said.

Reacting to the allegation, Samrat Chaudhary said, “…The biggest thing is that some matters need to be addressed in the proper forum. The person who tries to impose his corruption on others to save himself should first answer for himself.”
