Bankipur By-Election: 31 साल बाद BJP क्यों हार गई? | Prashant Kishor's Biggest Win | The Quint
#bankipurwithpk #PrashantKishor #BJP #BiharPolitics #JanSuraaj #ByElectionAfter 31 years, the BJP has lost the Bankipur Assembly seat in Bihar, one of its strongest political bastions.
The defeat comes at a remarkable political moment: Bihar has its first BJP Chief Minister, the sitting MLA from Bankipur had become the BJP's National President, and the NDA had recently recorded its biggest-ever electoral victory in the state.
Yet, Prashant Kishor, contesting his first-ever election, defeated the BJP and gave Jan Suraaj its first seat in the Bihar Legislative Assembly.
Was this just a by-election upset, or does it signal a larger political shift ahead of the 2026 Bihar Assembly elections?
This report looks at the history of the Bankipur seat, why it has mattered to the BJP for more than three decades, what changed in the by-election, and what the result could mean for Bihar's political landscape.
