"Send Me CVs": Prashant Kishor Says Will Deliver 10,000 Jobs In 3 Months
Politician and former poll strategist Prashant Kishor has launched a 'gratitude tour' in his constituency of Bankipur, promising to secure 10,000 jobs for local youth within three months. He aims to address unemployment and education issues by leveraging his professional network and establishing the 'Jan Suraaj' system.
Why it matters
Kishor's transition from political strategist to elected official is being closely watched as a test of his ability to deliver on populist economic promises in Bihar.
Poll strategist turned MLA Prashant Kishor has sought three months from his constituency, Bankipur, to put the bread-and-butter issues right - food grain, education, jobs and social security. Launching his "gratitude tour" today, Kishor promised to provide jobs to 10,000 people at his first stop - a school. At the Ram Govind Singh Girls' High School, he met students. His words were as much for them as their parents. "If your child is educated, submit their bio-data to my office. We will immediately arrange jobs for at least 10,000 youths from here. If people from any assembly constituency in Bihar are to secure the highest number of jobs, it will be the residents of Bankipur," he said.
