The results of the by-election for the Bankipur assembly seat in Bihar are now coming in. These results have surprised everyone, as Prashant Kishor has established an unassailable lead in the Bankipur assembly seat. Amid this lead, Prashant Kishor has made a significant statement. The BJP has led the NDA to victory, stating that it is the responsibility of their leadership to appoint a person as Chief Minister in Bihar who will reduce migration, ensure development, and create employment. Our victory is also a symbol of these issues.
The fight is not with any person but with ideology.
The fight isn’t personal. Samrat Chaudhary’s face has been exposed. Our fight isn’t with any individual, but with ideology. Kishore said, “We’re simply asking that the NDA appoint a person of character and competence as CM. Everyone’s children should develop. The people of Bihar will board the 1 lakh crore bullet train. That’s true, but it’s more important that the children and people of Bihar also get access to local trains.”

Will live up to the trust of the people of Bankipur
The people of Bankipur have placed their trust in me. We will respect that. You will see its impact in the next two to three months. I will do my best to develop my constituency. We believe that Bihar’s development is not possible with just one seat. However, we demand that a person who thinks about the people of Bihar be made the head of Bihar.
PK said, “Our victory indicates that people are unhappy with the work of the current Bihar government and have voted against it. Therefore, there is still time for the central leadership to appoint someone who cares about the state’s development.”
