Prashant Kishor has won the Bankipur Assembly by-election, defeating the BJP in one of its strongest political bastions in Bihar. The victory is being seen as the biggest milestone of his political career so far. But how did Jan Suraaj manage to win a seat the BJP had held for nearly 30 years? And does this result signal the rise of a credible third political force ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections?

In this video, we explain the Bankipur bypoll result, why Prashant Kishor's victory is significant, the factors that contributed to his win, the political journey from election strategist to elected leader, the rise of Jan Suraaj, and what this result could mean for Bihar's changing political landscape. We also examine whether this victory can be replicated across Bihar's 243 Assembly seats or if Bankipur remains a unique electoral exception.
