Prashant Kishore & His Art Of Centre Stage, Now At Bihar's Student Protests

You weekend read is here!

Dear Reader,

We're back with a power-packed weekender edition for you. We're calling it — PK's Art Of Centre Stage

Why, you'd ask?

The weekender's cover story by Abhishek features Prashant Kishor, who is easily the media's favourite child. To Kishor or PK, as he is referred to, hogging the limelight and becoming the main act comes naturally.

First the BJP, then JDU, then Congress — history shows that it is difficult for PK to remain on the sidelines and he prefers the centre stage. Hence, he didn't quite fit in any of these parties beyond a certain threshold.

So it's not surprising that as soon as Kishor plunged himself into the ongoing student protests in Bihar, he's managed to put himself in the centre.

Keep in mind that this is a state where Tejashwi Yadav and Chirag Paswan are also in the reckoning as 'youth leaders'. Then how did Kishor emerge as the frontrunner — be it online or on streets?

We also have some really incisive commentaries and ground reports from the week that went by.

• There's one on how Urdu imposition is endangering local languages like Surjapuri in Bihar.

• In the economy section, we have Prof Prasanna Tantri talking to Diksha on expectations from the Budget 2025.

• We have a piece by Nishtha on what awaits UP BJP's new President who is likely to be elected this month.

These and a lot more in our latest weekender. You wouldn't want to miss this edition. Read it here — PK's Art Of Centre Stage.
