'30-yr-stronghold fell in 30 days': Prashant Kishor's jibe at BJP as he eyes historic Bankipur win
Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor led in the Bankipur assembly bypoll, claiming to have ended the BJP's 30-year stronghold in 30 days.
Kishor said the result sends a message to BJP leadership to appoint a good chief minister for Bihar, focusing on education and employment.
Bankipur was a BJP bastion since 1995, represented by Navin Kishore Prasad Sinha and later his son Nitin Nabin for five consecutive terms.
The bypoll was triggered after Nitin Nabin vacated the seat following his election to the Rajya Sabha.
