Prashant Kishor says no political party for now, announces 'padyatra' in Bihar

Political strategist Prashant Kishor Thursday announced a 3,000 km "padyatra" in Bihar, stating that he won't be forming a political party as of now.

He said that in line with his previous announcement about working for the people, he will be travelling across Bihar from October 2, to understand people's issues. 

He will start his journey from the Gandhi Ashram in West Champaran. "In next 3-4 months, I'll meet many eminent persons of Bihar who can help build idea of 'Jan Suraaj' (good governance) and make them part of it," he said during a press conference.

Adding that there are no elections in Bihar in near future, Kishor said that a political party was not on the cards. 

He said that if a political party is formed, it won't be under his name but he will collaborate with those who form it.

Kishor had recently refused the Congress' offer to join the party, saying that more than him, the party needed leadership and will to bring in reforms.
