How Nitin Nabin's Bankipur is poised for an intensely watched bypoll

The article discusses the upcoming by-election in the Bankipur constituency in Bihar, which is notable for being the first time voters will elect an MLA without Nitin Nabin's name on the ballot.

The contest is seen as a test of whether Nabin's influence can be transferred to a successor and whether opposition parties like Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj can capitalize on public interest.
