The BJP and its allies have won seven out of 12 seats in eight states where by-polls were held.
New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the victory of the BJP and its allies in by-polls in various states showed that people had reposed faith in the "politics of development".
After the by-poll results were declared earlier today, PM Modi said it was an "appreciable effort" by the NDA. The BJP and its allies have won seven out of 12 seats in eight states where by-polls were held.
"Happy to see the victory of BJP and allies in by-polls in northern, southern, eastern, western and central parts of the country. I express gratitude to the people," he said.
"Appreciable effort by NDA. People across India reposed faith in politics of development, development & development. 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas."
The BJP wrested the communally-sensitive Muzaffarnagar constituency in Uttar Pradesh where the ruling Samajwadi Party suffered a blow losing two of the three seats it had while the Congress was jolted in Karnataka where it lost two of the three seats.
BJP ally in Bihar, the Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) won the Harlakhi constituency in Bihar, defeating Congress nominee which the RJD-JD(U)-Congress coalition had bagged with a massive majority in the assembly elections only three months ago.
In four other states - Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab and Telangana - ruling parties BJP, Shiv Sena, Akali Dal and TRS emerged victorious respectively in one seat each. In Tripura, again it was the ruling CPI(M) which won the lone seat.
The by-elections were held for 12 seats across eight states, results of which were declared today.
