The BJP, despite their marauding run across the country in Assembly elections have faced reverses in bypolls, most recently in Uttar Pradesh’s Gorakhpur and Phulpur and Bihar’s Araria.
Since the 2014 General Elections, the party has managed only four of the 23 Lok Sabha bypolls. In contrast, the Congress has won five of these bypoll battles – more than any other party.
