Prashant Kishor says ‘vote theft’ not an issue, sees change in Bihar

PATNA: Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor on Saturday said “vote chori” (vote theft) was not an issue in the Bihar assembly elections and suggested that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi should move court and launch a nationwide agitation instead of “hijacking” the state polls with irrelevant allegations. Speaking to the reporters during his campaign, Kishor said, “Vote ‘chori’ is not an issue here. Rahul is doing what he should – fighting the Election Commission and the BJP – but that issue might be relevant in Delhi, not in Bihar.” He questioned the Congress leader’s focus on the state and asked, “Why hijack the Bihar elections when no one here has said that their names have been deleted from the electoral rolls?” Kishor added that no voter in the state had complained of name deletion
