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. Election strategist Prashant Kishor’s party, Jan Suraaj, which contested its first election, faced a major setback, failing to win any seat and unable to save its deposits in three constituencies. Except for Imamganj, where Jan Suraaj’s candidate Jitendra Paswan garnered over 22% of the votes, the party struggled in other three constituencies. Of the four seats, two went to the BJP, while JD(U) and HAM-S claimed one each.
