Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor urged Bihar's Mithila Brahmin community to reconsider its political alignment, saying Brahmins lost Muslim support after siding with the BJP. Speaking in Darbhanga, Kishor referenced Muslim voters (about 18% of Bihar), referenced tradition, and noted his August Bankipur bypoll victory over BJP's Neeraj Kumar by over 19,000 votes.
