My decision not to contest Bihar polls can be considered mistake: Prashant Kishor

Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor on Wednesday claimed that his decision not to contest the Bihar Assembly polls could be considered a "mistake", and said he had never expected that his party would get less than 4 per cent votes.

His comment comes after the Jan Suraaj Party drew a blank in the recently held elections.

In an interview with NDTV India, Kishor said, “My decision not to contest polls can be considered a mistake. We have to do a lot to achieve a satisfactory result. I had never expected that our party would get less than 4 per cent votes in the assembly polls.”

The former poll strategist also asserted that his effort would continue to win future elections.

“I will not back down without winning Bihar. I don't know how much time it will take,” he said during the interview.
