Ahmedabad/Kolkata/Kochi/Chandigarh/ New Delhi, June 24 -- The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won two seats, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress and Trinamool Congress (TMC) won one each as the Election Commission announced results for five key assembly bypolls across four states on Monday. But celebrations in West Bengal were marred by the death of a 13-year-old girl after a crude bomb was hurled allegedly by workers of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) during a victory procession. Police arrested one person and chief minister Mamata Banerjee expressed shock over the incident. The AAP held on to the Visavadar seat in Gujarat with former state unit chief Gopal Italia defeating BJP's Kirit Patel by 17,581 votes. In the high-profile Ludhiana West bypoll in Punjab, AAP candidate and former Rajya Sabha member Sanjeev Arora defeated former minister and Congress leader Bharat Bhushan Ashu by 10,637 votes. Arora's victory fuelled speculation that the vacant Rajya Sabha seat could be filled by party chief Arvind Kejriwal, but the former Delhi chief minister denied the rumours. "I want to tell you I am not going to the Rajya Sabha. The political affairs committee of the party will decide whom to nominate," he told reporters in Delhi. The BJP won the Kadi seat and the TMC the Kaliganj seat in West Bengal. The Congress snatched the Nilambur seat from the Left Democratic Front (LDF). Bypolls are usually localised contests where turnouts are lower than regular elections and which are dominated by incumbents. They are not indicative of the wider mood of the state, but can generate interest especially in the run-up to assembly polls - as is the case in Punjab, West Bengal and Kerala, all of which go to the polls next year. In Visavadar, the bypoll was necessitated by AAP MLA Bhupendra Bhayani's resignation in December 2023, after which he joined the BJP. The BJP has not won the seat in 18 years. "In Gujarat, BJP fights elections using power, money, administration and every trick possible - hence it is not easy to win against them. But the double margin victory of Aam Aadmi Party in Visavadar shows that now the public is fed up with the 30 years of misrule of BJP. Gujarat is now on the path of change," Kejriwal said on X. In Kadi, a constituency reserved for scheduled castes, BJP candidate Rajendra Chavda won with a margin of 39,452 votes over Congress candidate Ramesh Chavda. The bypoll followed the death of BJP MLA Karsanbhai Solanki in February 2025. Kadi has long been a BJP bastion. The Kadi constituency, part of the Mehsana Lok Sabha seat, is a BJP stronghold. "This is the victory of all voters... The party gave me a ticket after 40 years and the public also made me victorious by a margin of about 40,000 votes," Chavda said. The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) scored an impressive victory in Nilambur, wresting the seat from the LDF and gaining momentum ahead of assembly polls. Riding on what he claimed was a wave of anti-incumbency sentiments against chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, UDF's Aryadan Shoukath beat LDF's M Swaraj by 11,077 votes. "For the past nine years, the people of Nilambur had been neglected. It is their victory. It shows the public anger against the Pinarayi Vijayan-led government," Shoukath said. While Shoukath, son of eight-time MLA and veteran Congress leader Aryadan Mohammed, got 77,737 votes, Swaraj, a member of the CPI (M) state secretariat, received 66,660 votes....
