Prashant Kishor reveals earning Rs 241 crore in 3 years, paid Rs 51 crore taxes, and donated Rs 99 crore to Jan Suraaj Party; accuses Bihar leaders of corruption.
Prashant Kishor, the founder of the Jan Suraaj Party and a former political strategist who is now a politician, revealed at a rally in Bihar on Monday that he has earned Rs 241 crore from business consulting over the last three years, paid taxes totaling almost Rs 51 crore, and contributed approximately Rs 99 crore to his party, Jan Suraaj. When the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) questioned him about the funding of his party, he responded with these statements during a press conference in Patna.
After entering politics, Kishor stated, he started charging to raise money for society, but he never charged for consulting political parties, organizations, or businesses.

Speaking to the crowd with his followers, the Jan Suraaj leader stated, “I have made Rs 241 crore in the previous three years from the advise I have given to individuals or businesses. I paid Rs 30,98,68,764 (or 18% of the revenue) in GST on this amount. I gave my Jan Suraaj Party Rs 98.95 crore and paid Rs 20 crore in income taxes.
When asked repeatedly by adversaries where he got the money for his political efforts, he replied, “Hum chor nahi hain.” Sanjay Jaiswal, a BJP leader, had questioned Kishor’s sources of income on several occasions.
Prashant Kishor stated that he stands by his remarks against JDU leader Ashok Chaudhary’s property, highlighting the accusations made against him.
He has bought property valued at Rs 200 crores. “I (Ashok Chaudhary) will be a slave to Jan Suraaj if even one kattha of land comes up,” he declared on camera. Having issued the documents, you claim that this is not your territory. Resign and get ready to be a slave to the people of Bihar if it is your land. Don’t be a slave to Jan Suraaj. The Governor and the court will be consulted if you don’t step down. It is necessary to take action against him,” he continued.
BJP leader and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, according to Kishor, is a “convicted murderer” who obtained his release by producing “false documents” that claimed he was a kid.
“(Bihar Deputy CM) Samrat Choudhary should be arrested immediately because he was convicted of murder in 1995 but was freed after the court incorrectly declared him to be a minor,” he stated.
Samrat Chaudhary responded to the accusation by saying, “The most important thing is that some issues need to be handled in the appropriate forum.” When someone tries to defend himself by forcing his corruption on others, he should first answer for his own actions.
