The Bankipur Assembly bypoll was held on July 30 after BJP MLA Nitin Nabin vacated the seat following his election to the Rajya Sabha. The contest drew nationwide attention as Kishor, a former election strategist, entered electoral politics in a constituency that had remained a BJP stronghold for nearly three decades.
