Congress leader Pawan Khera said the results of the assembly bypolls have sent a strong message to the BJP. "These by-elections which were held on 13 seats are very important. For the second time in one and a half months, the people of the country gave a strong message to the BJP. The message was very clear in the Lok Sabha elections," Mr Khera said. "In Uttarakhand, we won both our seats, Badrinath and Manglaur. In Himachal Pradesh, Congress won two out of three seats... And if you assess all 13 seats in total, BJP got only two," he said.
