BJP wins 7 seats, SP 2 in UP by-polls: Muslims vote en masse for BJP in Kundarki
As expected, the BJP clinched 7 of the 9 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday where by-elections were held on November 20.
There was lot of protests from the Opposition benches today when BJP MP, Nishikant Dubey, raised the issue of illegal Bangladeshi migrants during the zero hour.
What caused further commotion among the opposition benches was his direct accusation of TMC and parties like them for being responsible for the increase in Bangladeshi intruders. He demanded that National Register of Citizens should be imposed on the entire country.
By giving support to ‘criminals’ like Pehlu Khan against whom there is a case of cow trafficking registered they are encouraging such Bangladeshi intruders, Dubey added further infuriating the Opposition members, including those from the Congress.

At the same time, Raju Singh Bisht, first-time BJP MP from Darjeeling raised the issue of atrocities for which he blamed the TMC government. Bisht was speaking for the first time in the Lok Sabha. “Due to the unreasonableness of the TMC government, political violence is very common in his constituency,” said Bisht. It is TMC which is fascist, not BJP, he further added
Gaurav Gogoi from Congress said that over a lakh gorkhas are in the exclusion list of NRC in Assam. Gogoi added that there are many prominent citizens among those who have been excluded in the list and included a Sahitya Akademi award winner.
