Major reverses for BJP in Bihar The Bharatiya Janata Party, which had bagged 40 out of 50 seats in alliance with the Janata Dal-United in the just-concluded Lok Sabha election, faced a complete rout in the remaining four seats from Bihar. The BJP has been defeated in Purnea and is now trailing by an unassailable margin in Bhagalpur and Rajmahal (reserved) constituencies. However, its electoral ally, the Janata Dal-United managed to retain Khagaria. The Communist Party of India-Marxist, which was wiped out from the state in the last parliamentary election and also drew a blank in the recently concluded poll, is all set to open its account from Bhagalpur where its nominee Subodh Roy is maintaining a lead of more than 40,000 votes over his nearest BJP rival. The BJP received a stunning blow when independent Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav, a former member of the Lok Sabha, made the party eat a humble pie from Purnea. Yadav defeated Jai Krishna Mandal by more than 200,000 votes. Yadav fought the election from jail. He has been detained in connection with a murder case. UNI 216.32.165.70
