The By-election results for the Jhabua-Ratlam Lok Sabha seat
in Madhya Pradesh come as a setback for the BJP. It has lost the seat to
the Congress by over 80,000 votes. The Congress now has 45 members in
the Lok Sabha.
The death of BJP leader and sitting MP Dilip Singh Bhuria in June prompted the bypoll in Jhabua Ratlam. The BJP fielded his daughter and sitting MLA from Petlawad, Nirmala Bhuria.
The Congress candidate, the former state unit president Kantilal Bhuria, makes a comeback in the by-election after losing the assembly election to Ms Bhuria exactly one year ago.
The Jhabua-Ratlam contest saw Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan hold 27 rallies in six days to ensure BJP' victory here. The BJP had won the Lok Sabha seat for the first time ever in 2014 when the BJP swept 27 of the 29 seats in the state.
