Jan Suraaj Party
The Jan Suraaj Party (lit. 'People's Good Governance Party'; abbr. JSP) is an Indian political party founded by Prashant Kishor on 2 October 2024, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti. Rooted in Gandhian principles and social liberalism, the party positions itself at the centre to centre-left of the political spectrum, and seeks to function in the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi’s leadership acted as a broad-based people’s movement.
The party emerged from the Jan Suraaj Abhiyan, a grassroots movement initiated by Kishor to engage with the people of Bihar and develop a governance roadmap. This was followed by a statewide padyatra that began on 2 October 2022 from the Gandhi Ashram in Champaran, the site of Mahatma Gandhi’s 1917 satyagraha, culminating in a launch event in Patna, that drew a crowd of over 200,000 people, marking the formal transition of Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Abhiyan into a political organisation.
After his successful election campaigns in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu in May 2021, Kishor announced his retirement as an election strategist on live television, stating, "I do not want to continue what I am doing. I have done enough. Time for me to take a break and do something else in life. I want to quit this space."
About a year later, on 2 May 2022, Prashant Kishor hinted at the formation of a political outfit through a tweet stating, "It’s time to go to the Real Masters, The People," and advocating for "Jan Suraaj—People’s Good Governance."
On 5 May 2022, he formally launched the Jan Suraaj Abhiyan in a press conference in Patna, declaring his intention to undertake a 3,500+ km padyatra across Bihar. Between May and October 2022, Kishor travelled extensively across the state, meeting people from diverse backgrounds to understand their concerns and formulate a long-term governance strategy.
The Jan Suraaj Padyatra commenced on 2 October 2022 from Gandhi Ashram, Bhitiharwa, West Champaran. Over the next two years, Kishor and his team visited 5,000+ villages, engaging with local communities to identify key issues and draft a 10-year development roadmap. The campaign had three stated goals:
During this period, several initiatives were launched, including PK Youth Clubs, aimed at training young individuals to enter politics through the Panchayati Raj system.
On 2 October 2024, Kishor officially announced the formation of the Jan Suraaj Party, claiming a membership base of 1 crore individuals. Retired IFS officer Manoj Bharti was appointed as the first Bihar State President.
