Jan Suraaj Party Replaces Candidate After Bhushan Jha Quits Tirhut Teachers' Seat
The Jan Suraaj Party faced a setback ahead of the Bihar Legislative Council elections when Bhushan Jha quit the party within 24 hours of being named its Tirhut Teachers' candidate, choosing to contest as an independent. Jha cited objections to the party's handling of a review meeting held in Prashant Kishor's presence. Subsequently, the party replaced him with Shyam Nandan Yadav. The party is contesting all eight seats in the upcoming October 23 elections, with candidates announced for both teachers' and graduates' constituencies.
