in5points
Prashant Kishor predicted a crushing defeat for the BJP in the Bankipur bypoll, saying they won't have audacity to claim they can win even with 'cats and dogs' as candidates.
The Bankipur bypoll was necessitated by the resignation of BJP national president Nitin Nabin after his election to the Rajya Sabha.
Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party filed a complaint with the Election Commission alleging police illegally detained 54 supporters before voting.
BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad dismissed the 'dog or cat' remark attributed to a BJP leader as a 'false and baseless narrative'.
