PK EXPRESSED GRATITUDE AFTER VICTORY

PK EXPRESSED GRATITUDE AFTER VICTORY

12-AUG-ENG 3

RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

PATNA--------------------------Prashant Kishor, the architect of Jan Suraaj and the newly elected MLA of Bankipur, visited his constituency on Tuesday to meet the people. During the visit, he listened to their grievances and shared his own views. He also made a major announcement regarding employment for the youth. Addressing a gathering held to express gratitude, PK said, "Many were wondering where I had been roaming for the past 4-5 days after the victory. I was working for you. If your child is educated, submit their resume at my office; we will immediately arrange jobs for at least 10,000 youths from here. If people from any assembly constituency in Bihar are to get the most jobs, it will be the people of Bankipur—mark my words. I have asked all my contacts across the country to provide jobs to the people of Bihar. Furthermore, once the Jan Suraaj system is established in Bihar, rest assured, your children will not have to go elsewhere to earn a living."

"Give me three months; no one will be able to take even a single rupee as a bribe for making a ration card here," said PK.

Speaking at Yarpur Rajputana Gopal Sharan Singh Path, Prashant Kishor remarked that people are hopeful that his victory will transform their lives. He emphasized that such transformation is only possible through education and employment. "Give me three months, and no one will be able to take even a single rupee as a bribe for issuing a ration card here. Anyone entitled to a ration card will receive the full 5 kg of grain, not 4 kg. Those over the age of 60 who are not receiving the ₹1,100 pension should submit an application at my office; it is our responsibility to ensure they receive the money." There is no need to worry about the 5 kg of food grains and the ₹1,100 pension; we will ensure this is rectified within three months.

Ever since the Bankipur results were declared, there is no longer talk of police encounters in Bihar; instead, the daily conversation revolves around education and employment—this is the power of your vote: PK.

PK stated, "We sought your vote with the promise that if you supported us, the leadership of Samrat Chaudhary would change here. While his actual replacement may happen later, you can already see a shift in his working style. Since the Bankipur results, the discourse in Bihar has moved away from encounters to education and employment. This is the power of your vote. There was so much politics surrounding the Bharat Tiwari incident; just yesterday, news emerged that FIRs have been registered against 11 of the individuals involved in the shooting. Your vote made this happen. Now that the public has awakened, even they are talking about education and employment—whether they actually deliver on it is a different matter. We had said that if you defeat the BJP, the Chief Minister of Bihar would be compelled to discuss education and employment; their ouster is inevitable, whether it happens today or six months down the line."

"Within a year, government schools will either improve significantly, or—if they do not—your child will study in a private school, with Prashant Kishor bearing the responsibility for the fees; you will not have to worry about the expenses. This process will take a year. Jobs, education, the ₹1,100 pension, and food grains—these four things will certainly be ensured. Please give me time to address other issues so that I can work in collaboration with the government."

Regarding Prashant Kishor's itinerary, he first attended a memorial and tribute gathering at the Shaheed Ram Govind Singh Girls' High School in Dashratha. Subsequently, he participated in a gratitude meeting at Yarpur Rajputana Gopal Sharan Singh Path. Finally, he attended gratitude meetings held at Hanuman Path in Jakkanpur and at the Grand Palace Hall near Langartoli Chowk in Ward 40.
