A scuffle broke out between Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor and Bihar Police on Wednesday as he attempted to march towards the Assembly, after which he threatened to surround Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in his home along with his supporters.
He said that he wants to give a memorandum to Nitish, reminding him of his promise to the people of the state, and alleged that the government was refusing to hold a meeting with his party officials. Later, he informed that the chief secretary was talking with five senior leaders of his party.
“We want to peacefully give this memorandum of the people to the Chief Minister that in the last 2 years, he had promised to give Rs 2 lakh to 94 lakh families, but to date not a single family has received a single rupee,” Kishor told news agency ANI.
“The fight has just begun. Three months are still left… People of Bihar want change and want to remove the corrupt. They cannot hide in the assembly and behind the police. We will give them a reply that the whole of Bihar will see. We will surround Bihar CM Nitish Kumar in his home, and the police can’t do anything,” the Jan Suraaj founder threatened.

As he attempted to march towards the Bihar Assembly, a scuffle broke out between him and the police. He alleged that the cops did lathi charge on the protesters, in which a boy was injured.
Kishor said that his supporters would “make it difficult for the government to function” in the state.
“If you have hit an unarmed man of Suraaj with a stick, I’m sitting right here. This is a restricted area, try to hit me. We will make it difficult for the government to function in the whole of Bihar… You have hit a boy who got injury in his head… Either the chief secretary gives us in writing when they will give us the answers, or we won’t move from here,” he said.
He stressed that the government has to “bow down” in front of the public.
“We are waiting to see the outcome of the meeting. Police can’t do anything; they have hit one boy. They are saying that this is a restricted area. We are sitting here and telling them to try to hit us,” he said.
