Thirty-nine days after the Lok Sabha poll result was announced, the results of the recent assembly byelections had enough reason for the India bloc to rejoice and have the last laugh.
June-oon wohi: Bloc, stock, barrel

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If in West Bengal, Trinamool Congress made a clean sweep by winning all the four seats it contested, in Punjab, AAP’s Mohinder Bhagat made a decisive win from Jalandhar West.

In Himachal’s Dehra, Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu’s wife and Congress candidate Kamlesh Thakur made her poll debut with a win by 32,737 votes.

The Grand Old Party won four of the 13 seats, including the Badrinath assembly constituency in Uttarakhand.

In Tamil Nadu, another INDIA bloc partner, DMK, won the Vikravandi seat.

In Bihar, the Rupauli seat was won by independent candidate and former MLA Shankar Singh. Left-Congress alliance candidates forfeited deposits in three of the four seats in West Bengal.

Though the by-polls were held in Bihar, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, MP, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Himachal, it meant a lot for the CMs of Punjab, West Bengal and Bihar.
