When the name of Ramesh Ojha Prashant Kishor comes up, a different kind of picture starts forming in the mind about him. This is a man who has nothing to do with ideology. He gives guidance to that leader on how to win the election in the given situation. Election management is his profession, he is a professional advisor on this subject and the leader or party who is his client. He says that election management is both a science and an art which has not been noticed by the people, so something had to be done in that uncultivated field. So he did it for a decade, but it was not his life's purpose. The aim of life was social change and change does not happen through movement. According to him, no popular movement has survived except the French Revolution. Navarach can be done by directly contacting the people on the ground and making people accept the new thing through public preaching. In 2021, he looked towards the Congress. He drew up a blueprint for giving new life to the Congress and presented it to the Congress leaders. In the middle it was thought that he would join the Congress and work to revive the Congress. Several meetings were held with Congress leaders but nothing happened. On one side, a family that is losing Lokadhar, on the other side, veteran Congress leaders without Lokadhar and on the third side, a professional from outside. The vexing question for the Congress leaders was whether this was a client-serving professional or a committed Indian devoted to the Idea of India? If Prashant Kishor is a committed Indian committed to the Idea of India, then why did he help Narendra Modi in 2014? Didn't Prashant Kishor know that Narendra Modi's India is the opposite end of Gandhi-Nehru's India? Prashant Kishor made a blueprint to transform the country, Narendra Modi accepted it before the election, even said some of it in the election campaign, but after coming to power he had no interest in it. Prashant Kishor admits it was his mistake to help Narendra Modi. His support to Narendra Modi in 2014 and his subsequent support to the nation's opposing ideologies in contesting and winning elections has given him the impression that he has nothing to do with ideology. This man can go with anyone and help anyone. In short, given Prashant Kishor's journey it is hard to trust what he says and does, but Prashant Kishor is Prashant Kishor after all. They have imagination, planning, can create hope in people and have the courage to do something new. For two years now, he has been on the Jansuraj Yatra in Bihar and through this he has introduced a new politics in Bihar, one that is free from caste equations and at the same time, in caste-ridden Bihar. Caste is a reality that must be accepted. The reality that caste is related to social and economic level should also be accepted. As every reality has a size, the number determines the size of the reality called caste and that too should be accepted. Same with the followers of that religion. Other parties also accept this and do politics. He is setting up his party in Patna on the second of October and through it he is going to make a new politics in Bihar that is free from caste and communal equations. His words are reaching people, especially the youth. Being cheered enthusiastically. Every caste and community has a worthy man and every worthy man belongs to that caste or community. Representation of the number of which is equal to the second. Not one less and not one more. Third, opportunity should be bottom-up, not top-down. For example, Bihar has 20 percent Dalits and has 243 assembly seats. According to Prashant Kishor's formula, 48 seats should be given to eligible Dalit candidates. Not one less and not one more. But those 48 candidates will be qualified to represent the people. One more thing may have occurred to you. Prashant Kishore uses only Mahatma Gandhi's picture on stage. He does not keep the picture of Dr Rajendra Prasad, Jaiprakash Narayan or Karpuri Thakur or any other Bihari greatness on the platform. Ambedkar-Phule or no one else. This is a courageous act in today's age. Mahatma Gandhi is not popular in the country today, because he did not work for any social purpose. They belonged to everyone, but to no one in particular. Prashant Kishore says that his party will be for all, but his party will not work for any particular community or society as BJP is for Hindus and Rashtriya Janata Dal is for Bahujan Samaj. Indianness and juridical humanity. That is why they boldly keep Gandhiji's picture on the platform. Prashant Kishor has created a sensation in Bihar and is getting such an overwhelming response that political parties are scared, but the suspicions are still there. Are they really honest? Are they working for BJP? Are they going to have another Arvind Kejriwal? Keep an eye on Bihar from today. }When the name of a quiet boy is mentioned, a different kind of picture starts forming in the mind about him. This is a man who has nothing to do with ideology.
