New Delhi: In the first major electoral battle after the Lok Sabha poll results last months, the INDIA bloc parties, which contested separately in West Bengal and Punjab, won 10 of the 13 Assembly seats across seven states where bypolls were held while the BJP got two.
Overall,
the results seem to have gone largely in favour of the ruling parties in the states.
The ruling TMC won all the four seats in West Bengal, while the ruling Congress won two of the three seats in Himachal Pradesh. Similarly, the ruling parties won the single seats in Punjab (AAP), Madhya Pradesh (BJP) and Tamil Nadu (DMK).
Uttarakhand and Bihar, however, bucked the trend as the candidates of the ruling parties – BJP and JD(U) respectively – were defeated, by the Congress in both seats in Uttarakhand, and an Independent in Bihar.
