Muzaffarnagar, UP, Feb 16 (IBNS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday edged past its closest rival Samajwadi Party to win by-poll in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar, according to reports.
The Muzaffarnagar seat was hailed as a crucial point as it was marred with riots in.
The seat belonged to the SP since 2012 but was eventually won by BJP's Sanjeev Balyan.
Almost 60 people had died in 2013 due to riots in Muzaffarnagar.
SP also lost its Deoband seat, conceding it to the Congress, but managed to retain Faizabad.
