The ruling NDA won the bypoll to Purnia Assembly constituency with BJP’s Kiran Keshri defeating her nearest LJP-supported Congress rival Ramcharitra Yadav by a margin of 23,665 votes.
Riding on a sympathy wave, Kiran, whose husband and senior party MLA Raj Kishore Keshri was stabbed to death by teacher Rupam Pathak in full public view at his residence in Purnia on January 4, polled 53,732 votes against Yadav’s 30,067 votes.
CPI-M nominee Amit Sarkar, son of slain party MLA Ajit Sarkar, finished third securing 17,113 votes.
