Political strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor has secured a landmark victory in the Bankipur Assembly bypoll, marking a major breakthrough for his Jan Suraaj Party. The win comes in Kishor's electoral debut and represents a significant milestone after Jan Suraaj failed to win a seat in the previous Bihar Assembly elections. During the campaign, Kishor focused on issues such as migration, employment, education and governance, positioning the bypoll as a referendum on Bihar's future.
