The counting of votes to four assembly seats – Bihar's Bochahan, Maharashtra's Kolhapur North, Chhattisgarh's Khairagarh and West Bengal's Ballygunge – as well as one Lok Sabha seat in Bengal's Asansol was held on Saturday and it has been a big loss for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which has been defeated in all five constituencies. Meanwhile, in a significant victory, the Trinamool Congress swept both seats in West Bengal. The Mamata Banerjee-led party had fielded actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha from the Asansol Lok Sabha seat, while it pitched Babul Supriyo from Ballygunge assembly constituency. Although counting is still underway, the TMC is leading in both bypolls and is expected to emerge victorious.
