Bhopal: The Opposition Congress on Wednesday retained the Mungaoli and Kolaras Assembly seats in by-elections in Madhya Pradesh, though with reduced victory margins.
In Kolaras (in Shivpuri district), Congress candidate Mahendra Singh Yadav defeated the BJP's Devendra Jain by 8,086 votes, an Election Commission (EC) official said.
The Congress candidate got 82,523 votes, while his BJP rival polled 74,437 ballots. In 2013, Congress had won this seat by a margin of 24,953 votes.
In Mungaoli (Ashok Nagar district), Congress nominee Brajendra Singh Yadav emerged victorious by defeating his BJP rival Bai Sahab Yadav by 2,124 votes. Brajendra Singh Yadav got 70,808 votes, while the BJP candidate bagged 68,684. The Congress had won this seat by a margin of 20,765 votes in the 2013 Assembly polls.
The bypolls, held on February 24, 2018, were necessitated by the death of Congress MLAs Mahendra Singh Kalukheda (Mungaoli) and Ram Singh Yadav (Kolaras).
Kolaras and Mungaoli went to polls on February 24 and recorded a turnout of 70.4% and 77.05% respectively.
