Bihar Elections 2025: Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor took a sharp dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday, calling them “expired medicines”.
Kishor said that the leaders are unable to solve key issues like corruption and unemployment in Bihar. He further added that it was a good sign that, for the first time, leaders in Bihar fear losing votes if they don’t reach out to the people.
“It is good that for the first time in Bihar, there is a fear in the minds of the leaders that the public will not vote for them if they don’t go among the public,” Kishor said.

Tejashwi Yadav’s ‘Adhikar Yatra’
Meanwhile, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav launched the ‘Adhikar Yatra’ on Tuesday while highlighting the issues of unemployment, women’s rights, respect for teachers, and the need to improve education and healthcare in Bihar.
RJD MP Sanjay Yadav had said the rally is being taken to districts that were left out during Rahul Gandhi’s earlier ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra.’ He added that Tejashwi’s aim is to build a new Bihar with more jobs, industries, and better facilities for people.
