I beleive that the CPI(ML) [Liberation Group] was contesting about
eight parliamentary seats. They had a fighting chance in the following
seatsamong them: Ara and  Siwan (Bihar), Koderma (Jharkhand) and Karbi
Anglong-NC Hills (in the hills districts of Assam).

This is the only news I have so far (about the Koderma seat):

"Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) candidate and former chief
minister Babulal Marandi was leading by 12,648 votes against his
nearest rival Rajkumar Yadav (CPI-ML-Liberation) at the completion of
the third round."

No news yet about the  Ara, Siwan and Karbi Anglong seats.
