Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party challenged the 2025 Bihar Assembly election results in the Supreme Court, alleging violations of the Model Code of Conduct due to the Bihar government's transfer of Rs 10,000 each to 25-35 lakh women under the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana during the election period. The party claimed this constituted corrupt practices influencing voters and sought fresh polls. The Supreme Court declined to entertain the plea, directing Jan Suraaj to approach the Patna High Court, noting the party's electoral defeat and emphasizing judicial limits in overturning election outcomes.
