The assembly by-election to be held in Bankipur, Bihar is going to be very interesting. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded Neeraj Kumar Sinha, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has fielded Rekha Gupta and Jansuraj has fielded Prashant Kishore. Although BJP has changed its candidate on this seat, first Abhishek Kumar Sinha was given the ticket, later BJP changed its candidate and expressed confidence in Nijar Kumar Sinha.

With the change of BJP candidates, the rhetoric in the political circles of Bihar has also intensified. RJD and Jansuraj have launched a scathing attack on BJP. While Prashant Kishor had directly said that the BJP candidate had fled the field, RJD had said that the status of the BJP National President is not even that of the Booth President. At the same time, Congress alleges that Abhishek Kumar Sinha’s parents had connections with the much-discussed fodder scam. Because of the punishment, BJP changed its candidate in Bankipur.

BJP counterattacks on opposition’s allegations

Now BJP’s response to the statements of Jansuraj and RJD has come to light. BJP state president Sanjay Saraogi has cornered the opposition while giving his statement. He said that due to family reasons, Abhishek Kumar announced not to contest the elections and withdrew his nomination. Only Abhishek Kumar can tell what is the family reason.

At the same time, on the allegations made by RJD regarding the date of birth of BJP candidate Neeraj Sinha, Sanjay Saraogi said that Neeraj Sinha will file his nomination on July 13 and after that all his documents will be publicly available. Saraogi said that BJP will win this election with a huge majority. This is the reason why the opposition is making baseless and absurd allegations out of anger.
