Riding high on its spectacular success in assembly polls, including Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the BJP has won 5 out of 10 assembly seats in 8 states that went to bypolls because of various reasons.
While 8 of these seats were retained either by BJP or others, the saffron party gained two, as it snatched Dholpur (Rajasthan) seat from the Congress and Rajouri Garden from Aam Aadmi Party.
In West Delhi’s Rajouri Garden, AAP candidate lost his deposits. BJP-SAD candidate emerged victorious here while Congress finished second. Polls were necessitated here after AAP MLA quit the party. With this win, BJP has now increased its tally in 70-member Delhi Assembly to 4.
