By-Election Results: Regional Parties and National Parties

Recent by-elections across five areas have shown different trends.

In some places, like Punjab and West Bengal, local parties did well.

However, in Gujarat and Kerala, the larger national parties were still competitive.

These results can give us a hint about what voters are thinking, according to political analyst K V Prasad.

It is important to remember that these are only small glimpses of what voters are thinking in those areas and may not be the same for the entire state.
