Prashant Kishor To Embark On 3,500-Km Padyatra In Bihar From Sunday

The yatra is likely to take anywhere between 12-18 months and it is being widely seen to be a likely precursor to his entry in politics.

Political strategist Prashant Kishor will embark on a 3,500 km 'padyatra' in Bihar from West Champaran district on Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary on Sunday as part of his 'Jan Suraj' campaign.  

The yatra is likely to take anywhere between 12-18 months and it is being widely seen to be a likely precursor to his entry in politics even though he has often stressed that any such decision can only be taken by people who associate themselves with his campaign.

A statement said Mr Kishor will attempt to reach every panchayat and block during the yatra and will be a part of it till its end without taking any break.

He will start his journey from Gandhi Ashram in Bhitiharwa in West Champaran, where the father of the nation had launched his first satyagraha movement in 1917.
