Bihar BJP president Sanjay Saraf has made a strong statement ahead of the Bankipur Assembly by-election results, claiming that the BJP will retain the seat and that Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor is losing the contest. Saraf said that Bankipur has always been a BJP stronghold and will continue to remain with the party. The counting of votes has started, and early trends are expected soon as officials begin releasing round-wise updates. Reacting to Prashant Kishor’s campaign activities, Sanjay Saraf accused him of violating the model code of conduct during the election period. He alleged that Kishor was accompanied by people from outside the constituency and questioned his actions during the final phase of campaigning and on polling day. Saraf stated that he has experience as a six-time MLA and understands election rules and restrictions. The BJP leader clarified that he was not alleging electoral malpractice but raised concerns over alleged violations of election guidelines. He claimed that campaign restrictions were not followed properly and accused Kishor’s team of bringing outsiders into the constituency and engaging in activities against the rules. The Bankipur by-election has attracted major political attention as Prashant Kishor entered electoral politics through this contest. The final result will decide whether BJP maintains its traditional hold over the seat or whether Jan Suraaj makes a significant impact in its first major electoral challenge. Counting remains underway, with further updates expected as more rounds are completed.
