RLD-SP-BSP combine crushes BJP in Kairana bypolls 2018: Who won where in by election at 10 Assembly and 4 Lok Sabha seats

As the bypoll results have started to formulate into wins and losses from initial trends and leads, it is interesting to note the analysis behind the new equations which have cropped up and how the ruling party at the Centre—BJP—has only managed to continue its poor run in bye-elections held post-2014 Lok Sabha elections. So far, the BJP has only managed to win four out of the 23 Lok Sabha bypolls that have been held post its historic win in the general elections in 2014.

Here's a look at how the parties are faring with respect to vote share and lead margins in the various constituencies:
