RJD Considers Nominating Rekha Kumari for Bankipur By-Election

In the by-election to the Bankipur seat, all eyes are on who will be the candidate from the opposition this time. The BJP has also not announced the candidate. Meanwhile, there is a discussion that the party can make Rekha Kumari aka Rekha Gupta the candidate from the RJD again. If this happens, then Rekha Gupta will be the second time when she will fight from the RJD from Bankipur. In 2025 also the party gave her a chance and at that time Nitin Naveen from the BJP was in the field. Rekha Gupta got about 46 thousand votes. It is believed that if Rekha Gupta is nominated from the RJD, then definitely the contest can be interesting. In 2025, Rekha Gupta may not have won but has been the second. Rekha Kumari Gupta comes from the Teli caste of the Vaishya community. Bankipur is a Kayastha-dominated seat. Vaishya's number is also good. If you look at the results of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, Nitin Naveen from the BJP got 98,236 votes. Nitin received 46,399 votes, while Rekha Gupta from the Navin Kishor Party got 46,717 votes.
