Bankipur bypoll result: How Nitish, Lalu namesakes fared in the high-profile battle
Independent candidates named after Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar received minimal support in the Bankipur bypoll, with Nitish securing 148 votes and Lalu 81. Prashant Kishor, founder of the Jan Suraaj Party, is poised for a historic victory, leading with 63,946 votes against BJP's Neeraj Kumar at 44,770 votes. The bypoll was triggered by BJP president Nitin Nabin's resignation, and voter turnout was notably low at 34.30%.
