BJP chief Nitin Nabin reacts as Prashant Kishor wrests his family seat: ‘Unexpected’
BJP national president Nitin Nabin thanked voters in Gujarat for helping the party retain the Manjalpur Assembly seat and congratulated workers on the victory.
Nitin Nabin, the national president of the BJP, accepted the verdict of the three assembly bypolls on Monday and acknowledged that the party would conduct a thorough review following their losses in Bankipur and Datia. The Bankipur bypoll was particularly significant for the BJP as it is a seat that has consistently remained under their control since 1995, and Nabin himself represented it for four consecutive terms.
The bypoll was necessitated by Nabin's resignation as an MLA following his appointment as the BJP's national president. Neeraj Kumar contested on behalf of the BJP, but Prashant Kishor, the founder of the Jan Suraaj Party, emerged victorious by 19,324 votes, marking a substantial electoral setback for the BJP in Bihar. Despite the setbacks, Nabin expressed gratitude to the voters of Manjalpur for their support in retaining the Manjalpur Assembly seat and congratulated the party workers for their victory.
He emphasized that the BJP would return to the people with renewed energy and determination, continuing to strengthen their trust.
