Hyderabad, Aug. 3 -- Telangana Transport and BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar on Monday described the BJP's defeat in the Bankipur Assembly by-election in Bihar as a significant political development, claiming it reflected a shift in public sentiment and a victory for democracy.
In a video statement, the Minister said the defeat in Bankipur, considered a BJP stronghold and represented earlier by BJP leader Nitin Nabin, showed that people had rejected what he termed the party's "arrogance of power."He said the verdict demonstrated that official machinery and political campaigns could not override the will of the electorate.
