Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor was stopped by district officials from entering Kalyan Bigha, Bihar Chief Minister 's ancestral village in Nalanda, during a campaign event on Saturday, triggering a heated exchange with local authorities. The confrontation, captured on video, shows Kishor questioning the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) over the restrictions, insisting that his party is committed to lawful conduct.

Kishor, known for his grassroots political campaigns, alleged that the district administration had selectively restricted his movement. "They didn’t stop me in the entire 3 km stretch of villages before this, but now they claim I can't enter Kalyan Bigha because of orders from the top," he said, adding that locals had voiced complaints about corruption and the lack of development benefits, contrary to official claims.
