Impact of Low Voter Turnout on Bankipur Results

With a record low voter turnout of only 34.30 percent, the Bankipur by-election has produced surprising results. The diminished participation of urban voters seems to have hurt the BJP's prospects, while the Jan Suraj Party effectively mobilized its core supporters. Prashant Kishor's strategic focus on grassroots issues rather than caste politics is being credited for this performance.
