Bengal Bypolls: TMC Sweeps All 6 Seats Despite RG Kar Protests, Suvendu Says ‘BJP Needs To Give

Mumbai, Nov 23 (PTI) In the bout between the two NCP outfits, seen as a contest between Sharad Pawar and his nephew Ajit Pawar, the latter stole the show, winning 29 seats in the Maharashtra assembly elections.
