NDA sweeps byelections in northeastern states, BJP wins key seats, Assam CM hails support for PM Modi's vision.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) also suffered a significant blow, losing three of its previously held seats. Overall, INDIA lost all four seats, while the NDA gained three new constituencies.

The IPAC founder, who had a brief stint in the JD(U), insisted that the party's supremo Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, was a "spent force" and its candidate, former MLC Manorama Devi, had won on her own steam.

The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won seven of the nine assembly seats for which the bypolls were held on November 20. The NDA not only improved its tally over 2022, but also snatched seats like Kundarki and Katehari from the SP, besides increasing the winning margins on some and narrowing down the defeat gap on some others.
