INDIA bloc parties won 10 assembly seats, as votes were counted on Saturday for the by-elections held earlier this week on 13 seats in seven states.
BJP, which after the 2024 Lok Sabha election managed to retain power at the Centre with the help of its NDA allies, faced a major setback in the polls as it could pull off only two seats.
The bypolls were held in West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Tamil Nadu.
The Congress, TMC, AAP and DMK are among the INDIA bloc parties that fielded candidates in the bypolls.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said the bypoll victory shows that the”people have now completely rejected the arrogance, misgovernance and negative politics of the BJP”.
