The by-election results, particularly of Vidisha Lok Sabha constituency, have surprised all political parties. The BJP has won both the seats, but its vote percentage has come down drastically due to the presence of the Bharatiya Jan Shakti (BJS).
The Uma Bharati-founded BJS has emerged as runners-up in the constituency. The State BJP also had to pay the price for suspending BJP MLA Gauri Shankar Shejwar on the last leg of electioneering. After being suspended, he openly worked for the BJS in the by-election, particularly in Sanchi Assembly segment.
Shejwar also managed to affect other two Udaipura and Bhojpur Assembly constituencies of Raisen district.
The Vidisha election in charge of the BJP Anil Dave said the BJP has emerged victorious and the party is accepting the mandate. "The fall in vote percentage and its reasons would be analysed soon," he added.
<b>Right from the initial rounds of counting, the order was the BJP, BJS and then the Congress. The principal reason for the saffron party winning by a lesser margin is the BJS cutting into its vote-bank. The final figures in Sanchi were - 30,684 votes (BJP), 26,563 (BJS) and 22,940 (Congress).</b>
<b>The corresponding figures in Udaipura, BJP candidate and Public Health Engineering Minister Rampal Singh's Assembly constituency, were -- 42,116 (BJP), 18,666 (BJS) and 20,455 (Congress). In Congress, legislator Rajesh Patel's Assembly constituency Bhojpur the break-up was 38,162, 18,891 and 17,000.</b>
<b>The results in other Assembly segments are - Shamshabad - 27,121 (BJP), 26,454 (Congress), 10,664 (BJS), Kurwai - 22,159 (BJP), 21,798 (Congress), 9,922 (BJS), Budhni - 45,558 (BJP), 21,676 (Congress), 7,212 (BJS), Bhojpur - 38,224 (BJP), 17,000 (Congress), 18,891 (BJS), Vidisha - 27,138 (BJP), 22,340 (Congress), 23,921 (BJS), and Ganj Basoda - 25,263 (BJP), 20,512 (Congress), 20,811 (BJS).</b>
Political observers believe that the BJS that came into inception just three months ago has bagged only votes of the BJP. This is for sure that the BJS has registered a strong presence in the by-election despite having defeated in all the Assembly segments of Vidisha and Bada Malehra.
