New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) The first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections witnessed an impressive voter turnout, drawing reactions from across the political spectrum. While Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor described the high turnout as a sign of change, the ruling NDA attributed it to the people’s trust in the governance of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Reacting to the voter response, Prashant Kishor, who has been campaigning under his Jan Suraaj Yatra, said: “The biggest success of Jan Suraaj is that people now have an alternative. The compulsion of voting for Nitish-BJP out of fear of the BJP has come to an end. People are excited because they see a new option, a new path, and that is why there has been such a large voter turnout.”
