Prashant Kishor's swipe at BJP after Bankipur bypoll candidate withdraws: ‘Running away out of fear of losing’

Jan Suraaj Party chief Prashant Kishor has taken a swipe at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) following the withdrawal of a candidate in the Bankipur by-election. Kishor remarked that the opposition is effectively running away due to a fear of losing the contest.

The Bankipur seat became vacant following the resignation of BJP national president Nitin Nabin, triggering a highly watched bypoll. Kishor, who has launched his own political outfit, is actively participating in the fray to challenge established parties.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has officially fielded Rekha Kumari as their candidate for the seat. Kishor's comments highlight the increasing political friction as new players attempt to disrupt the traditional dominance of the BJP and RJD in Bihar. Source: Excerpt.
