Prashant Kishor to begin 3,000-km padayatra from West Champaran

Poll strategist Prashant Kishor said in a crowded press meet here on Thursday that before chalking out his future political plan, he would reach out to people of Bihar and also begin a 3,000 km padayatra from West Champaran from October 2. Mr. Kishor also ruled out that he was going to launch any political party or forum as of now. 

“I’ve come to stay in Bihar with all my commitment, sincerity and integrity and in next 3-4 months time I’ll be meeting about 17-18 thousand people who really want to change Bihar and discuss with them about my thoughts over Jan Suraj [good governance]. Then after from October 2 I’ll also begin padayatra of around 3,000 kilometers from West Champaran for 8-12 months to meet people of Bihar for a collective effort and thought to bring change in Bihar”, Mr. Kishor said.

“And, then after, if they [those whom I would meet] decide to form a political party or forum, Prashant Kishor will be one of the member of that party or forum,” he added, “but as of now, I’m not going to launch any political party”.
