NEW DELHI, FEB. 24. There was good news for the Congress as the results of the Lok Sabha byelections started pouring in. Of particular satisfaction was the resounding victory of Jyotiraditya Scindia from Guna, by a record margin of over four lakh votes. The Guna seat fell vacant following the death of Madhavrao Scindia in an aircrash on September 30 last year. The Congress nominated his son, Mr. Jyotiraditya, for the seat. Guna has traditionally been a Scindia family stronghold along with Gwalior. Madhavrao Scindia won his first parliamentary election from Guna and also his last in 1999. Mr. Jyotiraditya led a spirited campaign and appeared to have won the support of all sections of the people. The Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, breaking the tradition, campaigned in the byelection for Mr. Jyotiraditya. Several senior leaders, including the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Digvijay Singh, Arjun Singh, Kamal Nath, and the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister, Ajit Jogi, participated in the campaign.
