Bankipur Bypoll: BJP Faces Gen Z Challenge

Bankipur Bypoll: BJP Faces Gen Z Challenge

The Bankipur Assembly bypoll in Patna is not just about winning a seat; it's a battle for prestige for the BJP and a test of Prashant Kishor's influence.

The constituency has a large number of young voters, known as Gen Z, who are politically active and focus on issues like employment and education.

The BJP is campaigning on its development record and organizational strength, while Gen Z voters are more influenced by social media and current issues.

The outcome will depend on whether the young voters' activism translates into votes and if traditional vote banks remain dominant.
