Prashant Kishor\u2019s Big Win in Bankipur:<\/strong> Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor won the Bankipur seat by 18,593 votes, defeating BJP candidate Neeraj Kumar Sinha, as per the data released by Election Commission of India. The JSP chief has received more than 63,000 votes so far. Here are three factors behind Prashant Kishor\u2019s remarkable performance in Bankipur, his debut election.<\/p>\n

The Prashant Kishor Factor<\/h2>\n

The first factor is none other than Prashant Kishor himself and his ground-level connection with the people. In 2025 Bihar Assembly polls, the poll strategist-turned-politician\u2019s party couldn\u2019t even succeed in opening its account despite contesting 238 of the state\u2019s 243 seats. This time, Kishor decided to face the election and contested from the Bankipur seat.<\/p>\n

Kishor contested against the BJP\u2019s lightweight candidate Neeraj Kumar Sinha. The seat is considered a BJP stronghold and was represented by the party\u2019s leader Nitin Nabin, who won the seat for five terms from 2006 to 2026.<\/p>\n

Mood For Change<\/h2>\n

Public mood for change in the saffron party\u2019s worked in favour of Kishore, giving him the historic lead in the BJP\u2019s stronghold.<\/p>\n

Kishor attacked the saffron party\u2019s \u2018arrogance\u2019 for dubbing Bankipur as its \u2018stronghold\u2019, saying that its people who make and break a government, not any political party\u201d.<\/p>\n

Student Protest In Bihar<\/h2>\n

The recent student protests in several parts of Bihar also played a major role, as they were directed against the BJP government and former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over irregularities in the NEET exams. Students demanded the resignation of Pradhan over the alleged paper leak matter. This youth anger is also visible in the bypoll results.<\/p>\n

Nitish Kumar\u2019s Departure From Bihar Politics<\/h2>\n

Nitish Kumar\u2019s resignation as Bihar CM in April this year, officially marked the end of an era in state politics. The JDU chief served as chief minister of the state for over two decades. The veteran politician started a new inning in central politics as a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha. Kumar\u2019s exit paved the way for BJP in the state. However, the political development has also made way for JSP and the impact is visible in the current election results.<\/p>\n
