Battle for Bankipur: PK eyes upset on new BJP chief’s turf
Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor is leading in the Bankipur Assembly bypoll, potentially marking the first victory for his party after a poor showing in the 2025 elections. Kishor's success would represent a significant blow to the BJP, which has held the constituency since 1995, as they face a shift in voter support from the RJD. With 24 rounds of counting remaining, the BJP's Neeraj Kumar Sinha remains optimistic about securing a win in favorable areas.
