Prashant Kishor pledged on Tuesday to secure private-sector employment for 10,000 youths in the Bankipur constituency [1].
The initiative marks a shift in local political promises by focusing on private-sector placement rather than the traditionally sought government positions. This approach targets the immediate livelihood needs of educated youth in the Patna district of Bihar.
Kishor, the newly elected MLA of Bankipur and founder of the Jan Suraaj Party, made the announcement on 11 August 2026 [3]. He said that the goal is to deliver these positions within two years [2]. To begin the process, he asked educated residents to submit their resumes to his office.
"Send me your CVs and I will get you a job," Kishor said [4].
While government roles remain a primary goal for many in Bihar, Kishor acknowledged the difficulty of securing such posts. He said, "We will not get government jobs, but we will try to get them good private-sector jobs so that they can earn a living" [5].
The employment drive is part of a broader development agenda for the constituency. Kishor said that his office will also focus on improving local infrastructure, and social services.
"Along with jobs, we will work on better schools, food grain distribution, and pensions for the people of Bankipur," Kishor said [6].
By leveraging private-sector partnerships, the Jan Suraaj Party aims to create a sustainable economic model for the region. The request for CVs allows the MLA's team to map the skill sets available within the constituency to match them with industry demands.

This pledge represents a pragmatic pivot in Bihar's political landscape, where candidates typically promise unattainable government quotas to win votes. By explicitly steering expectations toward the private sector, Kishor is attempting to bypass the bureaucratic stagnation of state hiring. However, the success of this plan depends entirely on his ability to negotiate with external corporate entities, as the MLA's office lacks the direct authority to create private-sector roles.
