Prashant Kishor, the founder of Jan Suraaj, has announced his party's intention to contest the upcoming bye-election for the Bankipur seat in Bihar, previously held by BJP President Nitin Nabin. Nabin vacated the seat after being elected to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year, creating an opportunity for Jan Suraaj to challenge the BJP's long-standing dominance in the area. Kishor stated that the party will campaign vigorously, emphasizing a door-to-door outreach strategy to engage with the electorate and gather support. He expressed confidence that Jan Suraaj can overcome the BJP's 40-year hold on the seat. In the last elections held in 2025, Nabin won decisively against RJD's Rekha Kumari, while Jan Suraaj's candidate, Vandana Kumari, finished third with only 7,717 votes. Kishor's commitment to a robust campaign reflects the party's determination to make a significant impact in this bye-election.
