Prashant Kishor takes ‘9th fail’ dig at Tejashwi Yadav over Bihar's development
Jan Suraaj chief Prashant Kishor continues his attack on Bihar's former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav for being a “9th fail”.
Jan Suraaj chief Prashant Kishor mocked Bihar's former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday, alleging that the “9th fail” politician could not lead the state to development with a lack of education, reported news agency ANI.
Addressing a crowd in Bhojpur, Bihar, Prashant Kishor said, “If someone could not get educated because of lack of resources, it is understood. But if someone's parents are chief minister and he could not pass Class 10, then this shows their approach towards education.”

Taking a jab at the Rashtriya Janata Dal leader's educational background, Prashant Kishor added, "A 9th fail is showing the way to Bihar's development. He (Tejashwi Yadav) doesn't know the difference between GDP and GDP growth and he will tell how Bihar will improve?"

Prashant Kishor even dared Tejashwi Yadav to speak on socialism for five minutes without reading from a piece of paper, hinting at the latter's lack of knowledge in politics.
While he criticised Tejashwi, Kishor also exuded confidence over how his party would fare in the 2025 Bihar assembly election. "In 2025, the chief minister of Jan Suraaj will take the oath, and the government of Jan Suraaj will be in power. There is no, if and but," he said.
The Jan Suraaj leader has questioned Tejashwi Yadav's abilities due to his educational background previously as well, calling Tejashwi's growth model for Bihar, "laughable" . The former deputy chief minister had responded saying that Kishor was free to voice his opinion in a democracy.
