Poll strategist Prashant Kishor (PK)-backed Jan Suraaj, on Thursday announced the first list of 51 candidates for Bihar assembly elections, including former Bihar CM Karpoori Thakur's granddaughter but largely from non-political backgrounds. Taking the lead over the two major alliances--NDA and the INDIA bloc, Kishor said he is giving options to masses to choose beyond the available two alternatives. So far, PK has lent his services to several parties such as BJP, JD(U), Congress, TMC, AAP and YSRCP but now his own party has joined the poll fray, trying to set a new standard in politics.
