Ahead of the July 30 Bankipur Assembly by-election, Tej Pratap Yadav, National President of the Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD), announces that his party supports Jan Suraaj candidate Prashant Kishor. Both reports describe the move as a show of backing for Kishor in the bypoll campaign. The NDTV account frames the decision as a notable political development in the run-up to the election date, while India Today similarly reports that Tej Pratap Yadav endorses Kishor for the seat. The announcements come as parties and candidates position themselves for the contest in Bankipur, an election held through a by-election rather than a general assembly poll. The reports do not add further details on the campaign strategy, coalition terms, or additional participating parties beyond Tej Pratap Yadav’s support for Kishor. Overall, the common point across outlets is the public endorsement by Tej Pratap Yadav and JJD for Prashant Kishor ahead of the scheduled July 30 voting.
