BJP candidate Abhishek Kumar Sinha pulls out of Bankipur bypoll due to family reasons.
In a shocking turn of events, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Abhishek Kumar Sinha has withdrawn his nomination from the Bankipur Assembly by-election in Bihar. The decision was made just a day after Sinha filed his nomination papers in the presence of several senior National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders.
Sinha, popularly known as 'Bunty', cited family reasons for his withdrawal. He submitted a letter to Bihar BJP president Sanjay Saraogi informing the party of his decision. Sinha expressed his gratitude to the BJP's central and state leadership for nominating him as the NDA candidate.
The BJP had announced Sinha's candidature for the Bankipur bypoll earlier this week. The seat fell vacant following the resignation of BJP national president Nitin Nabin. Voting for the Bankipur Assembly by-election is scheduled for July 30, while counting of votes will take place on August 3.
Sinha's withdrawal has come as a surprise, especially since he had filed his nomination papers just a day earlier. The last date for filing nomination papers is July 13, giving the BJP limited time to find a new candidate.
The Bankipur bypoll has been a significant event in Bihar's political landscape. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has fielded its candidate from the Bankipur constituency, while the Congress has expressed its dissatisfaction with the decision.
The BJP will now need to find a new candidate to contest the bypoll. The party will have to act quickly to ensure that its new candidate can file their nomination papers before the deadline.
The Bankipur bypoll is scheduled to take place on July 30, and the outcome will be closely watched by political analysts and observers. The bypoll is seen as a test of the BJP's strength in the state, and the party will be keen to retain the seat.
In his statement, Sinha reiterated his commitment to serving the party as a dedicated worker. He said, 'I wish to humbly inform you that, due to family reasons, I am unable to contest the Assembly by-election. I will continue to serve faithfully as a party worker.'
The BJP will now have to regroup and find a new candidate to contest the bypoll. The party will be keen to ensure that its new candidate can win the seat and maintain the party's stronghold in the state.
