Just a month ago, election strategist and Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) founder Prashant Kishor announced that he would contest the Bankipur Assembly byelection in Patna.
“If the BJP wins the Bankipur election, I will have no hesitation in acknowledging that the people of Bihar endorse their policies, their public face, and their government. If the BJP loses, the government must accept that the people of Bihar do not approve its conduct, character, image, and system of governance,” Mr. Kishor told the media while announcing his candidature.
