BJP Chief Confident Amid Gen Z Protests
The Bankipur bypoll in Bihar is getting a lot of attention because of two big things.
First, Prashant Kishor, who started a group called Jan Suraaj, is running in the election.
Second, the Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, quit because of protests by young people in Delhi.
The leader of the BJP, Nitin Nabin, says these protests won't hurt his party.
He thinks the young people still support the BJP and the NDA.
The election is on July 30, and the results will be announced on August 3.
Nitin Nabin has won this area four times before, and he's supporting Neeraj Kumar Sinha, the BJP's candidate.
He also said that people joining or leaving the party doesn't matter because the BJP is strong and loved by the people.
Bankipur bypoll is significant due to Prashant Kishor's entry and Gen Z protests.
BJP's Nitin Nabin believes protests won't affect the party's poll prospects.
Nitin Nabin cites strong youth support for BJP and NDA.
Polling is scheduled for July 30, with counting on August 3.
Nitin Nabin has won four previous elections from Bankipur.
