Bankipur bypoll: Heart of the heartland will speak on August 3

On Monday, August 3, the public mood in BJP strongholds such as Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar will be revealed through bypolls in three Assembly seats. Among these, Bankipur in Bihar's capital city, Patna, is the most crucial. This seat, the heart of the heartland, will indicate the political landscape in the aftermath of recent student protests.

Nitin Nabin, the BJP's national president, vacated the seat, making it an opportune moment for Jan Suraj leader Prashant Kishor to contest. Kishor is pushing for caste-free, anti-BJP politics in one of the party's strongest territories.
