Let us tell you that Bankipur is a high-profile seat of Bihar. This seat has become vacant after the resignation of Bharatiya Janata Party national president and Rajya Sabha MP Nitin Nabin. Here there is a tough contest between BJP’s Neeraj Sinha and Jansuraj’s Prashant Kishore. If we talk about the political history of this place, this seat has been with BJP for the last three decades.
