LS Polls 2014: Here are the Prominent Winners


Rahul Gandhi: Even as Congress was decimated across Uttar Pradesh, Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi defeated his nearest rival BJP's Smriti Irani in Amethi seat by a huge margin of 1.07 lakh votes.

Gandhi had won the seat in 2009 by a margin of over 3.70 lakh votes.
Aam Admi Party's Kumar Vishwas had to content himself at fourth position behind BSP's Dharmendra Pratap Singh.

Lal Krishna Advani: BJP veteran leader Lal Krishna Advani wins by leading around two lakh votes over Congress candidate Kirit Patel in Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat. Advani, the five-time MP from Gandhinagar, got 3, 58,389 votes while Patel polled 1,16,337 votes after eight rounds of counting. Advani has indeed proved that he is far from being a spent force and can still pull in votes. In the 15th Lok Sabha election in 2009, Advani had won the seat by a margin of over 1.21 lakh votes.
