Amid all the political buzz created around Prashant Kishor contesting the Bihar assembly elections, the Jan Suraaj Party founder on Wednesday announced that he will not be contesting the assembly polls. While speaking to the media, he claimed that it was a collective decision taken by the party for its greater good.

While expressing his views on contesting the election during a one-on-one interview, the former political strategist said that a "tally of less than 150 seats" for Jan Suraaj will be considered a defeat, as cited by news agency PTI.
