“If Bihar has to have a world-class education system, Rs 5 lakh crore is needed in the next 10 years. When the liquor ban will be removed, that money won’t go into the budget and will not be used for the security of leaders, nor it will be used for roads, water and electricity. That will be used only for building a new education system in Bihar. Every year, Bihar is facing a loss of Rs 20,000 crore due to the liquor ban,” he said.
Notably, Prashant Kishor has vowed to end the liquor ban in Bihar immediately if elected to power. With the Election Commission’s nod, the Jan Suraj Party is now expected to contest in all constituencies in the Bihar assembly elections next year. On September 30, Prashant Kishor said that he does not want to become the leader of the party, adding that next year, in January or February, the party will release its agenda for Bihar.
Earlier, Prashant Kishor announced that the party would contest elections on all 243 seats out of which there will be 40 women candidates from the party to be formed. The assembly elections in Bihar are likely to be held in October-November 2025.
