The Bankipur bypoll tells a more nuanced story than the headline suggests.
In the 2025 Assembly election:
• Turnout: 41.1%
• BJP: 63.25%
• RJD: 29.83%
In the 2026 bypoll:
• Turnout: 33.3% (down by nearly 8 percentage points)
• BJP: 34.4%
• RJD: 10.95%
• Jan Suraaj: 49.23%
The sharp fall in turnout meant every party was bound to lose votes. But the real story lies in who lost their support base.
Compared to 2025, the BJP retained over 54% of its earlier vote share, while the RJD retained just 37%. In other words, the BJP lost 45.6% of its previous vote share, whereas the RJD lost a staggering 63.3%.
That is a far steeper collapse.
The numbers strongly indicate that a substantial section of RJD’s traditional support shifted to Jan Suraaj, particularly in the absence of an energetic RJD campaign.
For the BJP, the lesson is equally clear. Lower turnout meant many of our core supporters stayed home. We will draw the right lessons, energise our organisation, reconnect with every voter, and move forward with renewed determination to deliver on our commitments to the people of Bihar.

बांकीपुर उपचुनाव के नतीजों को सिर्फ़ जीत-हार के चश्मे से नहीं, बल्कि तथ्यों के आधार पर समझने की ज़रूरत है।
2025 विधानसभा चुनाव
• मतदान: 41.1%
• भाजपा: 63.25%
• राजद: 29.83%
2026 उपचुनाव
• मतदान: 33.3% (लगभग 8% कम)
• भाजपा: 34.4%
• राजद: 10.95%
• जन सुराज: 49.23%
मतदान में लगभग 8% की गिरावट का असर सभी दलों पर पड़ना स्वा���ाविक था। लेकिन असली सवाल यह है कि किस दल का जनाधार सबसे अधिक खिसका।
2025 की तुलना में भाजपा अपने 54% से अधिक वोट शेयर को बचाने में सफल रही, जबकि राजद अपने पुराने वोट शेयर का सिर्फ़ 37% ही बचा पाई। दूसरे शब्दों में, भाजपा के वोट शेयर में 45.6% की गिरावट आई, जबकि राजद के वोट शेयर में 63.3% की भारी गिरावट दर्ज हुई।
यानी, अनुपात के हिसाब से राजद का जनाधार भाजपा की तुलना में कहीं अधिक तेजी से खिसका।
यह साफ़ संकेत है कि राजद का एक बड़ा पारंपरिक वोट बैंक जन सुराज की ओर स्थानांतरित हुआ। तेजस्वी यादव की चुनावी अभियान से दूरी ने भी इसमें भूमिका निभाई।
भाजपा के लिए भी संदेश स्पष्ट है। कम मतदान के कारण हमारे कई समर्थक मतदान केंद्र तक नहीं पहुँचे। हम इस परिणाम से सही सबक लेंगे, अपने संगठन को और मज़��ूत करेंगे, हर कार्यकर्ता और मतदाता तक पहुँचेंगे तथा जनता से किए गए अपने वादों को पूरा करने के संकल्प के साथ और अधिक मजबूती से आगे बढ़ेंगे।
Superb. India they envision for 2047 isn't anchored solely in grand speeches or pol slogans..Their demand is practical.. they don't evaluate leadership based on grand manifestos..they look for proof..fact checking tools..
India@2047 won't be built on slogans alone. Gen Z seeks institutions that work, processes that are transparent, and a system they can trust.
The blueprint is simple:
**Click. Track. Trust.**

With Amarnath Yatra on, Terror re-surfaces in Kashmir. Two Hindu workers Deepak and Bopinder of Chhattisgarh, shot dead by terrorists in Kilam village, district Kulgam in South Kashmir.
#WATCH | Delhi | Daughter of a Delhi Police SI (Sub-Inspector) who sustained injuries during the clash between Police and protesters in Delhi, says, "...Before joining the police, my father served as a Marine Commando in the Indian Navy. He dedicated 15 years of his life to the Indian Navy. My father was present at the main protest site. He was on the front line near the barricades, where there was a large crowd. Whenever my father came home at night, he used to say that the protest no longer seemed like a student protest. Many antisocial elements had become involved in it. The very next day, on the 25th, my father was pulled by a rowdy mob and was almost lynched near the stage at Jantar Mantar. This happened on the 25th at around 2:00 PM. He remained unconscious at RML Hospital for about four hours. Around 10:00 PM, his colleagues brought him home, and his uniform was completely stained with blood. It was extremely painful for us to see him in that condition...When I opened social media, I saw that my father was being called a criminal. The very next day, I came to know that the people who had attacked my father were approaching the Supreme Court to wash away their crimes and were filing complaints against him and all the police personnel. I felt very hurt and decided that I should also seek justice for my father. I received support from other police families, and we went to the Supreme Court. We requested an advocate to present our case before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The advocate assured us that we, too, have equal rights as citizens of this country and that we would also get justice"
Delhi govt issues an order that no adverse legal action will be taken against people involved in NEET(UG) protests.
"The protectionshall not extend to persons having criminal antecedents, as mandated in the order of Hon'ble Supreme Court mentioned above,"
आप कुछ भी करें, वह आपका अधिकार है। बस इन सवालों का जवाब दे दीजिए। 🙏🙏
1. जाति-आधारित आरक्षण के 75 वर्षों में कितनी जातियाँ इतनी विकसित हो गईं कि उन्हें आरक्षण की आवश्यकता नहीं रही?
2. क्या जातिवाद, जाति-आधारित प्रमाणपत्र और पहचान को लगातार बनाए रखने से कम होता है या और बढ़ता है? जब स���कार स्वयं हर पीढ़ी को जाति-प्रमाणपत्र देती है, तो क्या इससे जातीय पहचान और मजबूत नहीं होती?
3. 90 अंक लाने वाले छात्र ने ऐसा क्या गलत किया कि उसे प्रवेश नहीं मिला, जबकि उससे कम अंक वाले छात्र को मिल गया? 🙏🙏
4. यदि आर्थिक स्थिति को आधार नहीं माना जाता, तो यह कैसे तय किया जाता है कि आज कौन वास्तव में वंचित है और कौन नहीं? आज़ादी के बाद जिन समुदायों के पास शिक्षा और रोजगार के अवसर नहीं थे, उनके उत्थान के लिए नीतियाँ बनाई गईं। लेकिन क्या समय-समय पर उनकी समीक्षा नहीं होनी चाहिए ताकि यह देखा जा सके कि लाभ ज़रूरतमंदों तक पहुँच रहा है या नहीं? 🙏🙏

Absolute mockery of the Indian education system

Governance may emerge from the mandate of the majority, but it endures only through the consent of the governed. At the heart of good governance lies the trust of the people.
Like the chariot of Dharmaraj Yudhishthir, which was said to move above the ground because of his unwavering commitment to truth and righteousness, governance must always remain anchored in integrity.
"Pran jaye par vachan na jaye"—the ideal exemplified by Shri Ram—reminds every public leader that keeping one's word is the foundation of public trust.
This should remain the talisman—the guiding lamp post—for every leader entrusted with governance in India.
@Mrsinha He is rootless..few days ago He said Pradhan is from Brahmin. For selfie with a mantri, He never minds to spread falsehood. This fake feedback is the result of present mess.
