In Bihar’s Gopalganj seat, Lalu Yadav’s party’s candidate Mohan Gupta had to face defeat at the hands of the BJP by just 1794 votes. In this election, two undeclared friends of BJP i.e. BSP and Owaisi’s AIMIM played an important role in making BJP win. At the last moment, BSP fielded Lalu’s brother-in-law i.e. Sadhu Yadav’s wife Indra Yadav, who single-handedly got 8008 votes, as long as Sadhu was with Lalu, he used to handle the responsibility of Gopalganj and still holds some influence there. Owaisi’s candidate got more than 12 thousand votes, Nitish Kumar did not even go for the Gopalganj by-election campaign because Mohan Gupta is a liquor businessman.
