Ruling Parties Win All Seats in Recent By-Elections Across Several States
By-election results in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Assam show ruling parties winning all seats contested. The BJP strengthened its position in West Bengal and Assam, while Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam gained ground in Tamil Nadu, partly due to defections from AIADMK. Opposition parties like Trinamool Congress and Congress faced setbacks, with some losing key vote shares. These outcomes reflect differing political cultures, with West Bengal favoring dominant ruling parties and Tamil Nadu exhibiting more competitive multi-party contests.
