Patna: The results of the Bankipur by-election have sent a new political message in Bihar. Jan Suraj leader Prashant Kishor has made a significant breakthrough in what was considered a strong Bharatiya Janata Party stronghold for nearly three decades, securing an historic victory in the Bankipur seat. Following this win, Prashant Kishor is now moving into the MLA quarters in Patna. This seat was previously held by BJP leader Nitin Navin, and Kishor won by a margin of 19,000 votes.

By shifting to the MLA residence, Prashant Kishor has become a neighbor to those very leaders who, during the election campaign, refused to acknowledge him. During the Bankipur by-election campaign, Bihar government minister and Danapur MLA Ram Kripal Yadav had questioned Prashant Kishor, asking who he was and why the public would elect an outsider. As fate would have it, Prashant Kishor's new MLA residence is now directly next to Ram Kripal Yadav's house. Upon becoming neighbors, Ram Kripal Yadav stated that Kishor is now his MLA and neighbor, and he would approach him with any problems if needed.

Other neighbors near Prashant Kishor's new residence include Minister Ram Kripal Yadav (Danapur MLA), Sanjeev Chaurasia (Digha MLA), and MLAs from Kumhrar, Patna Sahib, and Fatuha. After becoming an MLA, Prashant Kishor's new residence has become a new center of political activity in the capital Patna. Political analysts believe this change is not merely a shift in residence but indicates significant alterations in the political equations of the capital. With just 30 days of grassroots campaigning, Prashant Kishor made a major dent in the BJP's seemingly impregnable fortress, securing a splendid victory with a large margin of approximately 19,000 votes.
