Seema Malhotra wins London bypoll

     London,- Britain's opposition Labour party
candidate Seema Malhotra, daughter of Indian immigrants,
won the bypoll to the Feltham and Heston constituency in
London with an increased majority over the Conservatives.
The byelection to the constituency, a stronghold of the
Labour, was caused by the death of former party MP, Alan Keen.
Delighted with her win, Malhotra said it was a "wake-up
call" for the David Cameron government. "This result shows
that this Tory-led government is totally out of touch."
    The result proved that the opposition Labour party, which
lost power in 2010, was changing, "listening harder, winning
back the trust of the people we seek to serve," she said.
  Seema increased Labour's majority from 4,658 to 6,203
when she won with 12,639 votes. Conservative candidate Mark
Bowen came second with 6,436 votes, while Roger Crouch, the
Liberal Democrat, held on to the third place with 1,364 votes.
