India, July 10 -- BJP has changed its candidate against Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor for Bihar's Bankipur assembly bypoll, as the previous party nominee, Abhishek Kumar Sinha, withdrew his candidature on Friday, citing family reasons, a day after filing his nomination.

The saffron party had on Tuesday named the youth wing leader as its candidate for the bypoll to the assembly constituency in Bihar, which fell vacant following the resignation of BJP national president Nitin Nabin.

Prashant Kishor is also in the fray for the seat, and according to a BJP press release, the party has now named Neeraj Kumar Sinha as its candidate for the poll against the former political strategist.

RJD's Rekha Kumari is also contesting the bypoll.
