Prashant Kishor’s Bankipur bet is about more than one Assembly seat
Prashant Kishor, founder of the Jan Suraaj Party, will contest the Bankipur Assembly bypoll on July 30, marking his electoral debut after previously opting out of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. The seat became vacant following the election of BJP national president Nitin Nabin to the Rajya Sabha, and Kishor aims to leverage this opportunity to further his long-term vision for Bihar's transformation. The outcome of this election could significantly impact the JSP's future and Kishor's political career.
