Kishor has announced that he will not contest the 2029 elections unless the Bihar government implements the 7th pay panel for teachers.
Kishor, a prominent political figure in Bihar, made a firm statement on Tuesday that he will not seek votes in the 2029 elections if the state government fails to approve the 7th pay panel for teachers. The move comes amid growing frustration among the teaching community, who have long campaigned for better pay and benefits.
The 7th pay panel, which would bring teachers' salaries in line with national standards, has been a contentious issue in state politics. Kishor's stance signals a potential shift in the political calculus for parties that rely on teacher support.
While the announcement has sparked debate among political analysts, the government has yet to respond to the demand. The teachers' unions are expected to mobilize further, urging the administration to act swiftly.
