Prashant Kishor Alleges BJP Misuse of Government Workers Ahead of Bankipur Bypoll
Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party is contesting the Bankipur Assembly bypoll, with Kishor accusing the BJP of misusing government resources, including Jeevika Didis, to influence voters.

Kishor has called on the Election Commission to intervene and threatened protests if no action is taken. The BJP has not publicly responded to these allegations, while opposition leaders demand Tej Pratap's release.
