Digital Desk: Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Friday lauded the Opposition alliance's by-poll victories in four out of seven Assembly seats, calling the results "extremely encouraging."

Gogoi stated that the outcome of the bye-elections illustrates the ability of the anti-BJP front to win the high-stakes Lok Sabha elections next year.

"The bye-election results are extremely encouraging. I.N.D.I.A has shown the potential to win big in 2024," he posted on platform ‘X’.

Meanwhile, former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav praised the party's victory in the Ghosi bypoll. 

He stated that the people not only helped the SP win the seat but also gave I.N.D.I.A a significant boost.

"Our victory today will set the tone for more wins in the coming days," Akhikesh posted on X in Hindi.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also praised the people of Dhupguri in North Bengal after her party, the TMC, won the Assembly bypoll. Banerjee posted on X,  "I thank the people of Dhupguri for reposing faith in us and voting decisively in our favour in the critical by-election to the assembly constituency. The people of North Bengal are with us and trust our strategies for growth, inclusiveness and empowerment. Bengal has given its mandate, and, soon, INDIA will vote its choice. Jai Bangla! Jai INDIA! (sic)."

The results of the byelections for seven Assembly seats in six states — Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura, and Kerala — were announced on Friday.

The BJP won three of the seven Assembly seats, including Boxanagar, Dhanpur, and Bageshwar, while I.N.D.I.A won four, including Dumri, Puthupally, Ghosi, and Dhupguri.
