Prashant Kishor, leader of the Jan Suraaj party, has promised to end Bihar's liquor ban within an hour if elected to power, citing substantial revenue losses and ineffective enforcement. Kishor criticized current and former state leaders Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav, claiming they have both harmed Bihar and must step aside. He also took aim at Tejashwi Yadav's educational qualifications, questioning his capability to guide the state's development. Kishor emphasized that his party has been preparing for its foundation day on October 2 for the past two years, dismissing the need for special preparations. The existing liquor ban, instituted in 2016, has faced significant opposition for failing to curb illegal alcohol trade and associated health risks.
