‘Beginning of the end’ for BJP: Oppn MP's 4-point attack as Prashant Kishor leads in Bihar's Bankipur bypoll

BJP spokesperson Derek O'Brien has declared the "beginning of the end" for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as Prashant Kishor leads in the Bankipur assembly bypoll in Bihar. Kishor, founder of the Jan Suraaj Party, is currently leading by a significant margin of over 44,525 votes against the BJP's Neeraj Kumar Sinha. The bypoll was necessitated by the vacating of the seat by Nitin Nabin, who had won the constituency four times before being elevated to the Rajya Sabha.

The BJP initially nominated Abhishek Kumar Sinha, but he withdrew his nomination, leading to the nomination of Neeraj Kumar Sinha. The bypoll has drawn much attention due to the BJP's long-standing stronghold in the constituency.
