1963 Bilaspur by-election

The 1963 Bilaspur by-election was a significant electoral event held on 2 August 1963 in the Bilaspur constituency of Madhya Pradesh, India. This by-election was necessitated by the resignation of the incumbent Member of Parliament, Kaul Kaji, following his appointment to a ministerial position in the central government. The election witnessed a contest primarily between the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party, reflecting the political landscape of post-independence India. The Congress candidate, who emerged victorious, reinforced the party's influence in the region during a period marked by socio-political changes. The turnout and voter engagement during this election highlighted the evolving dynamics of Indian electoral politics in the early 1960s.
