₹10,000 Given To Women Played Major Role in Bihar Election Outcome: Prashant Kishor | Read
Poll strategist Prashant Kishor - whose fledgling Jan Suraaj made its electoral debut (and flopped) in the Bihar election - accused rivals Bharatiya Janata Party and the Janata Dal United of paying 1.21 crore women Rs 10,000 each to 'buy' their votes and ensure a landslide win.
In his first post-poll interview, Kishor told NDTV's Editor-in-Chief Rahul Kanwal the Rs 10,000 -paid out days before voting, formally to start their own business - "was enough to sway votes".
