Bihar
Nearly three months after its stupendous victory, the Nitish Kumar-led Grand Alliance in Bihar today suffered a setback losing Harlakhi Assembly bypoll to BJP ally Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) candidate by 18,650 votes.
Union Minister Upendra Kushwaha led RLSP candidate Sudhanshu Shekhar, riding on a sympathy wave, defeated his Congress rival Mohammad Shabir by a margin of 18,650 votes.
Sudhanshu Shekhar's father Basant Kushwaha had died a day before oath taking in November last year.
Returning Officer Bishnudeo Mandal said while RLSP nominee polled 62,434 votes, the Congress candidate bagged 43,784 votes and CPI Ram Naresh Pandey 19,835.
With today's victory, the tally of RLSP goes up to two in the 16th Bihar Assembly while that of NDA to 58 in the 243-member House. BJP has 53 legislators, LJP 2, RLSP 2 and HAM 1
Karnataka
In Congress-ruled Karnataka, the ruling party won Bidar seat and the main opposition BJP won Hebbala and Devadurga seats. The defeat of the Congress in Hebbala in Bengaluru city has come as a shock to the party.
Former Union minister CK Jaffer Sharief’s grandson CK Rehman Sharief lost the prestigious seat by a big margin. The local BJP MP and Union Law minister DV Sadananda Gowda emerged victorious by ensuring the win of his candidate Narayanaswamy, who is an outsider to Bengaluru.
In Devadurga, former BJP minister Shivanagouda Naik won and the Congress’ Raheem Khan won from Bidar. Before the by-polls the Congress held one seat and the BJP held two seats. Since Hebbala candidate was not from Siddaramaiah camp, the chief minister can now blame Jaffer Sharief for the loss.
Uttar Pradesh
The ruling Samajwadi Party today lost to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in riot-hit Muzaffarnagar, in by-polls that were held on Saturday February 13,2016
Samajwadi Party has also lost the Deoband
seat to the Congress but has retained a third seat.

"CPI-M candidate Parimal Debnath defeated his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rival Ranjit Das by 10,597 votes.

Punjab

Main opposition parties Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had stayed out of the contest.
The bypoll was held as the seat fell vacant after Congress legislator Ramanjit Singh Sikki resigned in protest against sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib last year.
Congress had "boycotted" the polls, saying the issue on which Mr Sikki had resigned was still unresolved.
The CPI-M retained the Amarpur assembly seat in Tripura whereas Rashtriya Lok Samta Party won Bihar's Harlakhi assembly seat.
