Located in the Patna district of Bihar, Bankipur assembly seat was won by Nitin Navin of the BJP in the last assembly polls to Bihar in 2010. In that assembly election to Bankipur, Nitin Navin, a former MLA from the erstwhile Patna West assembly constituency, had polled 78771 votes to trounce Binod Kumar Srivastava of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) by a huge margin of 60840 votes. The RJD candidate who received 17931 votes was followed the Congress nominee Durga Prasad who received managed to secure only 6018 votes.
Jakir Hussain, who was nominated by the Nationalist Congress party (NCP) to contest the Bankipur assembly seat which came into being before the 2010 assembly polls, came fourth with just 1259 votes. The Janata Dal (United) had not fielded its candidate from the seat as it had jointly contested the 2010 assembly elections to Bihar with the BJP. In 2010 the RJD and the Lok Janashakti Party (LJP) went to the polls together. Equations have changed now. The JD (U), the RJD and the Congress have come together to fight the forthcoming assembly elections.
Earlier Nitin Navin had emerged victorious from the Patna West assembly constituency, which ceased to exist after that on the recommendations of the Delimitation Commission, in a byepoll in 2006 which was necessitated due to the death of the sitting Patna West MLA and his father Navin Kishore Prasad Sinha . In the byepoll, Navin had defeated his nearest RJD rival Ajay Singh by a margin of over 65,000 votes. While Navin had polled 76,025 votes, Ajay Singh who was also backed by the Congress, managed to secure 10,858 and lost his security deposit. The turnout in the byelection was abysmally low with just 19.85 per cent.
Navin Kishore Prasad Sinha had won the Patna West seat in the assembly elections held in October/November 2005 by a whopping margin of 86119 votes.
A predominantly urban area, Bankipur is one of the six assembly constituencies that combine to create the Patna Sahib parliamentary constituency currently represented by Shatrughan Sinha of the BJP who retained the seat by defeating his nearest Congress rival Kunal Singh of the Congress by an impressive margin of 2,65,805 votes in the last parliamentary elections in 2014. The JD (U) candidate Dr. Gopal Prasad Sinha was relegated to the third place.
Bakhtiarpur, Digha, Kumhrar, Patna Sahib and Fatuha are the other assembly constituencies falling under Patna Sahib Lok Sabha seat.
Located on the banks of River Ganga, Bankipur is a place of historical significance. But this area is grappling with lack of basic amenities like roads and water in the present times. Sitting BJP MLA Nitin Navin from the constituency had defeated RJD candidate Binod Kumar Srivastava in 2010 by 60,840 votes. He promises ‘Acche Din’ for his constituency if he is elected back to power. Navin will fight it out with Kumar Ashish from Congress, a partner of Grand Alliance.
