Kolkata, Oct 13 (IANS): President Pranab Mukherjee's son Abhijit Mukherjee of the Congress Saturday won the Jangipur Lok Sabha by-election in West Bengal, defeated his nearest Communist Party of India-Marxist rival Muzaffar Hussain by over 2,000 votes, an official said.

The by-election was held Oct 10. The seat had fallen vacant after Pranab Mukherjee was elevated to the highest office of the country.

There were 11 candidates in the fray including Bharatiya Janata Party's Sudhangshu Biswas.

    It is sad day. If our politicians continue to nominate their children and relatives there will be no fresh blood, corruption will be perpetuated and governance will take a back seat.
