Patna, July 25 -- Ahead of the Bankipur Assembly by-election, Janashakti Janata Dal (JJD) president Tej Pratap Yadav on Friday announced his support for Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) founder Prashant Kishor, asserting that the "right candidate" should emerge victorious in the upcoming poll.

Speaking to reporters, Yadav said, "It started raining the moment we announced our support to Prashant Kishor... In Bankipur, the right candidate should win."

Kishor aims to break the BJP's winning streak in the constituency. However, Kishor faces a tough battle ahead. Choosing to contest a long-time BJP bastion, the JSP founder is looking to break over 15 years of the party winning the seat. Since 2010, the seat has been represented by Nitin Nabin.
