New Delhi, Aug 24 (PTI) As political strategist Prashant Kishor looks to shape his ‘Jan Suraj’ campaign into a political party, he is keen to shake off any perception linking the new organisation with any particular voting bloc by incorporating an equal number of representatives from various social groups.
The new party, which will be formed on October 2 in Bihar, will have a 25-member central committee, having five persons each from the general category, other backward classes (OBCs), extremely backward classes (EBCs), scheduled castes and minorities, ‘Jan Suraj’ representatives have said.
The 25 members will elect a leader of the party for a term of one year, and the representative of the most deprived community will get the first term followed by other communities, they said.
Kishor has already announced that he will not be a part of the leadership group and will continue his foot-march across his home state.
He is keen that the new party gets fully on the ground before the next Assembly elections in the state to be held by the end of 2025.
Any founder member of the campaign having at least 5,000 proposes can be a part of the election process to become the party’s central committee member, according to its announcement made recently. PTI KR MNK MNK
