The juggernaut of the BJP-led NDA, which triumphed in three of the four east and north-eastern states that went for assembly bypolls on Saturday, was halted yet again in West Bengal where Mamata Banerjee's TMC registered a six-on-six clean sweep.

In Assam, the BJP and its allies retained four assembly seats and were leading in one, where the bypolls were held on November 13. The sol
