Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay, after losing the Munugode bypoll to TRS, Sunday said, "We'll respect the verdict of the people of Munugode. BJP candidate Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy fought this election like a hero. No matter how many threats were made by the ruling party, BJP workers worked unyieldingly."

Bharatiya Janata Party's Mumbai unit chief Ashish Shelar on Sunday said Rutuja Latke of the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) won the Andheri (East) Assembly bypoll here because his party did not field a candidate against her.

"Once the BJP withdraws from the fray, it will not indulge in such activities like casting NOTA votes," Bawankule asserted.
NCP spokesperson Clyde Crasto said, "Shelar and BJP's reaction that 'had we contested the Andheri East Assembly by-election, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) candidate Rutuja Latke's defeat was certain' is like the fox who said 'grapes are sour' when he could not get them because they was out of his reach." Rutuja Latke won the bypoll by bagging more than 66,000 votes, followed by 12,806 votes polled in favour of the None Of The Above (NOTA) option. The November 3 byelection, necessitated due to the death of sitting Shiv Sena MLA and her husband Ramesh Latke in May this year, was a mere formality after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) withdrew its candidate - Murji Patel - from the race.
