RJD Nominates Rekha Kumari Gupta for Bankipur Assembly By-Election in Bihar

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has announced Rekha Kumari Gupta as its candidate for the Bankipur assembly by-election in Bihar. The party has expressed confidence in her for the second consecutive time. She was also given a ticket in the last assembly election. She received 46,363 votes and finished second. The RJD hopes that Rekha Gupta will benefit from last time's performance and present a stronger challenge than before. She belongs to the Teli caste of the Vaishya community. The Bankipur assembly seat is traditionally considered to be dominated by Kayastha, but there is a significant number of Vaishya voters. The RJD has bet on her. This time the Bankipur election is likely to be very interesting. According to political experts, the contest may be triangular. On the one hand, the BJP will try to save its stronghold, while on the other hand, the RJD is trying to strengthen its challenge. On the other hand, Jan Suraj has also made this seat a question of prestige. On the other hand, its founder Prashant Kishor of Jan Surpur has also entered the by-election and Prashant Kishor is now seen as a key candidate.
