Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar reunion after 20 years seems to have worked in Bihar with their "secular alliance" along with Congress today registering win in six assembly seats in bypolls. BJP, which had won six out of the 10 seats in 2010, suffered a setback as it bagged just four seats. JD(U) has won Jale seat while alliance partner Congress registered victory in Bhagalpur. BJP has won Narkatiaganj, Banka and Mohania (SC) seats. The results of 10 seats in the Bihar Assembly by-election were being watched keenly, with political pundits seeing it as a 'semi-final' before the full-fledged assembly elections scheduled next year in the state.
