Ratnesh Kumar, the lawyer who came into national focus for handling the AI-generated video case involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late mother, has clinched a major political victory in the Patna Sahib Assembly constituency. The seat, held firmly by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for four decades, was represented by Bihar Assembly Speaker Nand Kishore Yadav for seven consecutive terms.

The Congress fielded Shashant Shekhar to challenge the BJP’s long-standing dominance, but the task proved formidable. According to the latest updates on the Election Commission of India website, the BJP has widened its margin significantly after 31 out of 31 rounds of counting.

As the last voting results:

Ratnesh Kumar (BJP): 1,30,366 votes

Shashant Shekhar (Congress): 91,466 votes
