Speaking to reporters, Kishor emphasized that the Bankipur vote was not just an election to choose an MLA, but a message to the BJP's central leadership. He expressed that the people of Bihar wanted a good Chief Minister who could improve education, create employment opportunities for the youth, and ensure that children of Bihar do not have to migrate for work. Kishor also highlighted the importance of good leadership and real development in Bihar, urging the BJP and Prime Minister Modi to focus on these aspects before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The Jan Suraaj party celebrated their victory in Bankipur, marking a potential \"beginning of a golden age\" for the party.",
