Congress has won the Datia Assembly bypoll in Madhya Pradesh, with candidate Ghanshyam Singh defeating the BJP by a margin of 6,016 votes. The result gives the Congress a significant electoral boost in the state ahead of future political contests.
The bypoll witnessed celebrations at the state Congress headquarters in Bhopal, where party workers danced to the beats of drums and hailed the victory as a mandate against the BJP government.
Earlier in the day, Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitendra Patwari thanked the people of Datia, saying they had exposed the BJP government’s “arrogance and corruption”, while Ghanshyam Singh credited voters and party workers for the win.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
