New party ASA may eat into JDU votes in Bihar

With just a year to go before the Bihar assembly elections in October-November 2025, another political party has emerged in the state following Prashant Kishor's launch of "Jan Suraj". Ram Chandra Prasad Singh, a former aide to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, announced his new party, Aap Sab Ki Awaz (ASA).

Singh, while announcing ASA in Patna on Thursday, said that the party's candidate will contest 140 of the total 243 seats in the state.

Both Singh and Prashant, were at one time the closest aide of Kumar but now both of them are sworn political rivals.

Singh, in his inaugural press conference following the party launch, criticised Bihar's liquor prohibition policy, a signature initiative of Kumar that he has championed since its implementation in April 2016. Singh pledged to repeal the prohibition if elected to power.
