Prashant Kishor, the chief of the Jan Suraaj Party (JSP), has gained renewed attention following the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) emerging as the single largest party in the 2026 Tamil Nadu elections. An old video of Kishor has gone viral, where he expressed his desire to become more popular than former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni in Tamil Nadu. Kishor, who has previously served as a poll strategist for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and played a significant role in Jagan Reddy's rise in Andhra Pradesh, stated, "I have to become the most popular Bihari in Tamil Nadu." He emphasized his commitment to helping the TVK win, suggesting that his popularity could rival that of Dhoni, who is a beloved figure in the region. Kishor's remarks highlight his ambitions and potential influence in Tamil Nadu's political landscape as the state gears up for future elections.
