00:03So, Prashant Kishore has won from the Bakipur seat in Bihar and here is why it has the potential
00:07to change the politics of the state.
00:12So, I have lived in this state for the most part of my life and I have seen how caste
00:16and religion plays a huge role when people are deciding who to vote for.
00:19The Yadavs and the Muslims in the state have traditionally voted for the RJD and the Congress.
00:24And most upper castes and a slice of OBCs have voted for the BJP and JDO.
00:27Yet, according to political pundits, Prashant Kishore has managed to change that.
00:31Jan Suraj has managed to defeat the BJP on a seat.
00:34It was comfortably winning for over three decades.
00:39Prashant Kishore is the same guy who has built political campaigns for Jagan Mohan Reddy,
00:42Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal and even the then CM of Gujarat, Narendra Modi.
00:47Most elections in this state have seen these streets to be flooded with BJP supporters but
00:52at the moment, it's largely empty.
00:54They wanted to make a place, Prashant Kishore, that I have seen the national president of BJP's
00:59seat in the seat.
01:01BJP has never lost an election on that seat, challenging the BJP there and that has happened.
01:06The saffron flags and gamshas have long dominated these streets but now if you take a look,
01:11all you can see here is yellow.
01:13I am surprised but pleasantly.
01:15This is a Kayas dominated vote bank here and many people vote for BJP because of that, even
01:21some of my family does.
01:22I think he has gone a separate route from identity politics.
01:27Many political pundits are calling it a new day for Bihar's politics.
01:32Long.
01:33Long.
01:33Long.
