Patna: Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor on Saturday called the BJP candidate's decision to withdraw his candidature from the Bankipur assembly bypoll in Bihar "unprecedented", and claimed that the saffron party "lacks a candidate of calibre".
Kishor, who is contesting the by-election on his party's ticket, claimed that usually, nominees of BJP's rivals withdraw from electoral contests due to "pressure or fear from the saffron party".
