Bhosale, who had resigned and joined the BJP before the Maharashtra Assembly polls, necessitating the Lok Sabha byelection in Satara, lost to the NCP's Shriniwas Patil by 87,717 votes.

Former Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan said as the BJP cannot form government on its own, there might be new possibilities and the Congress high command should think of these options.

Konni falls in the Pathanamthitta district which was the epicentre of the Sabarimala agitation, which the BJP had hoped to cash in, but failed to make any inroads.

The Congress won seven urban seats in Haryana whereas one each went to the Jananayak Janata party (JJP) and an Independent candidate.

The most significant upset was witnessed in Parli, where Women and Child Welfare Minister Pankaja Munde of the BJP, locked in a bitter fight with her estranged cousin and NCP leader Dhananjay Munde, lost.

A number of ministers lost, with the BJP, which had coined the slogan "Abki Baar 75 paar", appeared to be falling well short of the majority mark of 46 in the 90-member House.

With 29 per cent strength, Jat voters are the deciding factor in Haryana. This time, they have decided to make Dushyant Chautala as the king-maker and have ruled out INLD’s political presence in the state.

NCP's Shriniwas Patil, a long-time friend of party chief Sharad Pawar, won from Satara, polling 6,36,620 votes, defeating BJP candidate Udayanraje Bhosale who secured 5,48,903 votes.

Sharad Pawar, though his party saw a large number of defections, stood tall whether it be the ED's money laundering case against him or when he braved a spell of rain while campaigning in Satara.
