BJP retains Manjalpur seat in Gujarat bypoll but winning margin shrinks sharply

The BJP has won the Manjalpur assembly bypoll in Vadodara, Gujarat, with candidate Satish Patel defeating Congress's Bhikhabhai Rabari. The bypoll was necessitated by the death of sitting BJP MLA Yogesh Patel. While the victory keeps the seat in BJP's hands, the party's winning margin was significantly lower than in previous assembly elections. The reduced lead has raised concerns within the party about its electoral standing in the constituency, prompting calls for a strategic reassessment.
