Prashant draws big Zero in Bihar polls, what lies ahead for him

Patna, Nov 14 (UNI) Once widely acclaimed poll strategist Prashant Kishor who had founded "Jan Suraaj ", a party with mission and vision to change entire system for larger interests of people of Bihar, drew a big 'zero' in state assembly polls, a moment for him to think what to do next to survive in public life.
Kishor known as 'PK' was instrumental in preparing strategy for Narendra Modi which helped in making him Prime Minister in 2014. He had also done the job of preparing poll strategy for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and several other CMs across states in the country. It was surprising that a man who revived sagging political fortunes of a number of top politicians of the country, had big zero in his kitty when results of Bihar assembly elections were declared. It was not just a zero of narrowly missing hitting the target but there was no hope for a win in any one of his party candidates to win even in distant dreams.
Prashant Kishor fielded candidates in 238 out of 243 seats of Bihar assembly but none of them could win. It was surprising that 98 percent of them lost their deposits as number of votes polled, was far below what was expected. Even after contesting so many seats, his party polled only two percent of valid votes.
