Assembly byelection results: INDIA bloc leads in 11 of 13 seats, BJP and its ally JD(U) in 1 each

New Delhi/IBNS: INDIA, the anti-Modi front formed before the Lok Sabha elections, seems to be paying dividends even now as the opposition camp has managed to take leads in 11 out of 13 assembly seats which went to bypolls on July 10.

The 11 leading seats to INDIA's kitty are largely contributed by Congress (5) and Trinamool Congress (4).

The Congress has surged ahead of the BJP in two out of three Himachal Pradesh seats, namly Dehra and Nalagarh.

The Congress is also leading in both Badrinath and Manglaur seats of Uttarakhand as well as the Amarwara segment from Madhya Pradesh.

In all four seats of West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's TMC, which is opposed to the Congress in the state but in the INDIA bloc nationally, is set for a clean sweep, dashing the hope for the BJP.

The four seats of West Bengal that went to bypolls are Maniktala, Bagda, Ranaghat Dakshin and Raiganj.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is leading in Punjab's Jalandhar West and Congress' ally DMK is ahead in Tamil Nadu's Vikravandi.

The BJP is ahead in only one seat, which comes from Himachal Pradesh's Hamirpur.

The saffron party's ally JD (U), which is spearheaded by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, is leading in the state's Rupauli constituency.

The election results will be held as significant as the INDIA bloc managed to reduce the BJP's tally in Lok Sabha to 240, 32 less than the majority mark.

With 240 seats, the BJP, which is spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, needs the mandatory support of its allies to run the government.
