Chastened by the drubbing received by his Jan Suraaj Party in the recently held Bihar Assembly polls, political strategist-turned-activist Prashant Kishor on Thursday (November 20, 2025) undertook a day-long silent fast.
Mr. Kishor visited the Bhitiharwa Ashram in West Champaran district, set up by Mahatma Gandhi about a century ago, for his "maun upvaas", according to a statement issued here by the Jan Suraaj Party.

Notably, Mr. Kishor, who is known to have great admiration for Mahatma Gandhi, had chosen the same spot three years ago for launching a 3,500 km-long "pada yatra" that culminated in the formation of Jan Suraaj Party on Gandhi Jayanti last year.
