The upcoming Lok Sabha by-election in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh is a fierce battle between two Bhojpuri filmstars - sitting MP Ravi Kishan from BJP and actress Kajal Nishad from SP. With a total of 13 candidates in the running, including BSP's Javed Simnani, experts predict that the main fight is between the ruling BJP and the opposition SP. While Kishan is riding on his film success and the backing of PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath, Nishad is challenging him in a dramatic filmy style, claiming to be the "daughter-in-law of the people" and a true representative of Gorakhpur.
