PATNA: Bihar's governing National Democratic Alliance (NDA) swept the bypolls to four assembly constituencies on Saturday, retaining Imamganj and capturing Tarari, Ramgarh and Belaganj from INDIA bloc.

Prashant Kishor highlighted the fact that his fledgling Jan Suraaj won 10 per cent of the total votes polled in four seats, while rubbishing the claim that it had played a role in the RJD's defeat.

NDA sweeps Bihar bypolls with 52.83% voter turnout, defeating opposition parties, including Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj party.

Jan Suraaj candidates failed to make a significant impact, finishing third in three constituencies and one in the fourth position.

Jan Suraaj failed to make an impact in assembly bypolls, as all its four candidates lost the contest, with three of them forfeiting security deposits.

Prashant Kishor however drew succour from the fact that his fledgling Jan Suraaj had ‘secured 10% of votes’ polled in the four seats.

Political strategist turned activist Prashant Kishor on Saturday dubbed as "a matter of concern" the NDA's win in assembly by-polls in Bihar despite "failure" of the BJP-led coalition to end the state

Kishore said that he will continue his efforts to increase their vote share to 40% adding that he will ensure it happens
