BJP wins big in Indian by-elections, outperforming Congress in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a significant victory in recent by-elections in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, attributing its success to strong local leadership and grassroots campaigning. In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP won 7 out of 9 seats, with CM Yogi Adityanath crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. In Maharashtra, the BJP-led Mahayuti coalition won a landslide victory, aided by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its focus on women's welfare schemes. The Congress party, led by Rahul Gandhi, suffered a major setback, winning only 17 seats in Maharashtra, highlighting the failure of his caste-based politics strategy.
