There were reports of clashes between BJD and BJP in two polling booths in Odisha’s Rameswarpur when voting was underway, resulting in injuries to two persons. The BJD has fielded Abanti Das, the lone woman among the total five candidates in Dhamnagar.
In the by-polls of Andheri East, there was a record of 31.74 voters turnout lowest in the seven places where it was held.
Gola Gokarnath recorded 55.68 per cent of voters turnout. The Gola Gokarannath seat in Uttar Pradesh fell vacant after the death of BJP MLA Arvind Giri on September 6. With the BSP and the Congress keeping away from the bypolls, there seems to be a direct fight between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party.
Adampur witnessed 75.25 voter turnout on November 3. In Adampur, the by-election was necessitated after Kuldeep Bishnoi resigned as MLA from the seat and switched from the Congress to the BJP in August. Bishnoi’s son Bhavya is now contesting as the BJP candidate. The Congress, Indian National Lok Dal, and Aam Aadmi Party are among the key parties contesting the bypolls.
Munugode witnessed a voter turnout of 77.55 percent. The BJP and the ruling TRS had been campaigning aggressively in Munugode in Telangana, where the Congress MLA had resigned and is fighting on the saffron party’s ticket.
While a victory in the bypolls will be inconsequential to their position in the assemblies, the parties have not taken the contest lightly and carried out a high-pitched campaign.
The counting of votes will take place on November 6.
