Jan Suraaj, the party led by Prashant Kishor, has made a sensational claim following its loss in the Bihar election. According to the party's spokesperson, Pavan Verma, the NDA alliance diverted ₹14,000 crore from World Bank funds meant for another project and distributed it to 1.25 crore women voters in the state before the election. Verma made these allegations in an interview with ANI, stating that the funds were diverted just an hour before the election code of conduct came into effect. He claimed that the ₹10,000 given to each of the women was taken from ₹21,000 crore provided by the World Bank for another project. The party's loss in the election has left many questioning the impact of its social welfare schemes, including the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana. Verma attributed the party's defeat to various factors, including the last-minute transfer of funds and the ruling party's policies towards women. In a statement that has sparked debate, Verma suggested that the government may have used the funds to influence the election outcome. He also pointed out that the ruling party's policies towards women may have backfired, leading to the party's defeat. The allegations have sparked a heated debate, with many questioning the ethics of diverting funds meant for one project to another. The World Bank has not commented on the allegations, and the government has denied any wrongdoing. As the party comes to terms with its loss, Jan Suraaj's spokesperson has vowed to provide more information on the allegations and to hold the government accountable for its actions. The incident has raised questions about the role of money in politics and the impact of social welfare schemes on election outcomes.
