JD(U) MP Devesh Chandra Thakur won Sitamarhi Lok Sabha constituency in Bihar, defeating his opponent from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Arjun Rai, by a margin of over 51,000 votes.
In an earlier opinion poll conducted by India TV-CNX, it predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party may win 78 out of the total 80 Lok Sabha seats in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
BJP Vice President J.P.S. Rathore, who is in-charge of the party's membership drive in the state, said that the BJP would now focus on bringing Jatavs and Yadavs into its fold. The party had lost seats in western UP mainly because the Jatavs did not support it even though other Dalit sub-castes did.
