BJP's defeat in Bankipur bypoll result of Bihar CM's negative politics: Tejashwi
Talking to reporters in Patna, Mr. Yadav, the leader of the Opposition in the Assembly, said that since Mr. Choudhary became the CM, the BJP has lost two elections — the MLC poll and the Bankipur bypoll
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav asserted that the BJP's decisive loss in the Bankipur Assembly bypoll was due to Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary's negative political tactics. In Patna, Mr. Yadav, the leader of the Assembly's Opposition, noted that since Mr. Choudhary became CM, the BJP has lost two elections, including the MLC poll and the Bankipur bypoll.
He claimed that Choudhary's governance has been disastrous, with law and order in complete disarray. The RJD leader accused Choudhary and BJP leaders of negative politics and harassment of opposition figures, stating that the people have punished him and the BJP. RJD's Prashant Kishor made his electoral debut and won the Bankipur bypoll, scoring 64,151 votes against BJP's Neeraj Kumar with 44,827 votes.
Kishor's victory came days after nationwide protests by Gen Z, making the defeat even more significant, as the seat was last held by BJP president Nitin Nabin, whose elevation to the Rajya Sabha triggered the by-election. The RJD leader demanded security for Vimal Kumar's family and a government job for his wife, alleging that the local MLA was involved in extortion activities, and the CM was shielding the individual.
