The Statesman|January 06, 2025
Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor, early on Sunday morning, sat down with protesting students who have been demonstrating against the Bihar Civil Services (BPSC) exam, urging that Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav should lead the protest as he is a "tall" leader and also the Leader of Opposition (LoP).
Tejashwi Yadav Tall Leader, Should Lead Protests, Says Prashant Kishor

Kishor was responding to remarks made by the former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister. He stated that Yadav, being the LoP, should have taken the lead in the protest instead of him.

"He (Tejashwi Yadav) is a tall leader. He is also the LoP. He should have led the protests. I have been telling them to lead the protest. We will step aside. He said that he was coming to Gandhi Maidan with five lakh people. Students (and their issues) should be talked about. Politics can happen whenever. We don't have any party banner here. We care about the agenda of the students," the Jan Suraaj founder told reporters.
