Bihar Elections: YouTuber Manish Kashyap Quits BJP, Likely To Join Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj, Say Reports

Popular YouTuber Manish Kashyap has announced to leave the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He made the big announcement during a live Facebook session on Saturday night. Manish Kashyap, who came to spotlight for showcasing ground reality and blunders done by Bihar Government engineers and architects, had joined BJP last year, and now, reports have emerged that he may join hands with Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj party.

In his Facebook Live session, Manish Kashyap expressed that he no longer felt capable of serving the people effectively while being part of the BJP, so he has decided to leave the saffron front.

He added that he will keep serving the people of Bihar.

Political Ambitions and Future Plans

During his live session, Kashyap sought suggestions from his followers regarding where he should contest in upcoming elections. His sudden departure from the BJP introduces a new dynamic to Bihar's political landscape, especially with state elections in 2025 and Lok Sabha elections in 2026 approaching.

The decision follows an alleged incident at Patna's PMCH Hospital, where Kashyap was reportedly assaulted by doctors. He had publicly voiced disappointment over the BJP's lack of support following this episode.

Impact on Bihar Politics

Kashyap's exit adds an unexpected twist to Bihar's evolving political narrative. It remains uncertain whether he will contest independently or align with another party in future elections. His next steps are eagerly anticipated by both supporters and political analysts alike.

"I want to fight for Bihar and Biharis. I feel that staying in the party, I won't be able to raise people's voices effectively. That's why I've made this decision," Kashyap stated during his announcement.
