From Modi's strategist to Nitish & Mamata's aide, Prashant Kishor (48) launched Jan Suraaj with 2-year padayatra, slick org, candidates in 238/243 seats yet won ZERO, scraping tiny votes as NDA swept. No anti-incumbency, no crisis; Bihar stuck to caste loyalties. Unlike AAP (anti-corruption wave) or TDP (regional breakaway), Jan Suraaj was a "designed start-up" lacking organic fire. Kishor skipped contesting, hyped governance/jobs/migration but missed emotional spark. Media buzz ≠ votes; no base (caste/religion/youth).
