PATNA: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday not only retained Gopalganj assembly seat in Bihar, despite spirited campaigning by deputy chief minister Tejashwsi Prasad Yadav and other top leaders of the seven-party ruling Mahagathbandhan but also improved its performance in the high-profile Mokama seat, though it was retained by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).
The Bihar bypoll results have come as a “warning signal” for the recently revived Mahagathbandhan which was expected to perform better with the state’s longest-serving chief minister Nitish Kumar by its side.
