Kishor: JD(U) Got Just 25 Seats Without Women Scheme

Poll Strategist Makes Bold Claim About JD(U)'s Election Performance

Political strategist Prashant Kishor has made a startling revelation about the JD(U)'s performance in the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, claiming that the party would have been reduced to just 25 seats had it not implemented the Rs 10,000 financial assistance scheme for women.

The prominent election analyst made these comments during a recent public appearance, where he analyzed the outcome of the closely contested state elections. Kishor's statement sheds new light on the significant impact of welfare schemes on electoral politics in Bihar.

Kishor's Political Exit Promise

In a dramatic declaration that has caught political attention, Kishor stated he would "definitely quit" politics if the NDA government fulfills its ambitious poll promise of providing Rs 2 lakh each to approximately 1.5 crore women under self-employment initiatives.

This bold commitment comes as the newly formed NDA government prepares to implement its election promises. The massive financial scheme, if executed, would represent one of the largest women empowerment initiatives in Bihar's history.

Analysis of Election Results

Kishor's assessment suggests that the Rs 10,000 women assistance program proved to be a crucial factor in preventing a complete electoral collapse for JD(U). His analysis indicates that without this popular scheme, the party would have faced near wipeout in the assembly elections.

The political strategist, known for his accurate election predictions and successful campaign management, has often provided insightful commentary on Bihar's complex political landscape. His latest remarks highlight the growing importance of direct benefit transfers in influencing voter behavior.

As the NDA government settles into power, all eyes will be on whether it delivers on its promise of the Rs 2 lakh scheme for women. The implementation of this program could potentially mark a significant turning point in Bihar's development trajectory and political dynamics.
