Appeal for support from Grand Alliance
On the other hand, Manoj Bharti said another big thing. During the conversation, he said that if BJP has to be defeated then the Grand Alliance should support us. Manoj Bharti said that Nitin Naveen’s family has been in possession of this seat for 30 years. This seat is considered a stronghold of BJP, but no development work has been done here. The public wants change. There are 114 slum areas in Patna district, out of which 64 are in Bankipur.
What did the state president of BJP say?
Regarding Bankipur, BJP state president Sanjay Saraogi said that this has been the seat of Nitin Naveen. He has become the national president of the party. An ordinary worker has been given the top position. The people of Bankipur are very happy with this and will thank Narendra Modi by making the BJP candidate win with a huge vote in the by-election.
He further said that Nitin Naveen was MLA from here five times, his father was MLA for four times. It is well known how much development work has been done in that area, that is why we won with a huge majority last year. It doesn’t matter who contests the election in opposition. The public is with us. The announcement will be made soon as to who will contest or who will be the BJP worker.
