The Shiv Sena for the first time secured its first Lok Sabha seat outside home turf Maharashtra by winning the Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu Lok Sabha seat.
The most crushing defeat for the BJP was in Himachal Pradesh; despite it being in power in the state, the Congress won the Mandi Lok Sabha bypoll and the three Assembly seats of Fatehpur, Arki, and Jubbal-Kotkhai.
The Mandi seat was won by Pratibha Singh, widow of late former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, who was pitted against Kargil war hero Brigadier (retired) Khushal Thakur of BJP.
Congress chief spokesman and general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted: The BJP has lost 2 out of 3 Lok Sabha seats. In Assemblies, the BJP lost at most places in direct contest with the INC. HP, Rajasthan Karnataka & Maharashtra have witnessed it.
Modiji, Shed arrogance! Repeal 3 Black Laws! Stop Petrol-Diesel-Gas Loot! Disdain for people's pain is harmful, he added. The Congress candidate Kalpana Verma regained for the party the Raigaon seat in Satna district after many years, but the BJP won the two other Assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh and retained Khandwa Lok Sabha seat, with a thumping majority (Gyaneshwar Patil against Congress candidate Rajnarain.)
