BJP wins Purnia assembly bypoll in Bihar

Purnia: Ruling NDA won the bypoll to Purnia assembly constituency where BJP's Kiran Keshri emerged victorious by defeating her nearest LJP-supported Congress rival Ramcharitra Yadav by a margin of 23,665 votes.

However riding on a sympathy wave, Kiran, whose husband and senior party MLA Raj Kishore Keshri was stabbed to death by a teacher Rupam Pathak in full public view at his residence in Purnia on January 4, polled 53,732 votes against Yadav's 30,067 votes.

On the other hand CPI-M nominee Amit Sarkar, son of slain party MLA Ajit Sarkar, finished third securing 17,113 votes. Rest of the four contestants Satish Sah (Ind) got 1,855 votes, Islamuddin (CPI-ML) got 1554 votes, Om Prakash Bhagat (JMM) bagged 898 votes and Krishna Kumar Jha (Ind) got 508 votes. They have to forfeit their security deposit.
