Bankipur constituency is going to witness a high-stakes battle in the Bihar Assembly elections 2025 as Road Works Minister and senior BJP leader Nitin Nabin Sinha tries for his fifth consecutive victory. Voting will be held in the first phase on November 6 in the assembly constituency located in the neighborhood of state capital Patna.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) are the key contenders in the constituency.

Bankipur, which has been a stronghold of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for more than a decade, has been represented by Nitin Nabin Sinha since 2010. Now this time he is eyeing his fifth consecutive term.

This constituency was carved out of Patna West in 2008 and made a separate assembly constituency.

Nitin Nabeen, son of veteran BJP leader Nabeen Kishore Prasad Sinha, first won the seat in 2010 and has since retained it for four consecutive terms.

In 2015, Nitin Nabin secured 86,759 votes and defeated Congress candidate Kumar Ashish, who received 46,992 votes.

Five years later, in the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, the BJP leader once again won a comfortable victory by securing 83,068 votes, against Congress’s Luv Sinha, son of actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha, who managed to secure 44,032 votes.
