Fierce Electoral Battles Unfold in Four Indian States Amidst Bypolls

Voter turnout rates remained moderate as bypolls were conducted across four Indian states: Punjab, West Bengal, Gujarat, and Kerala. The electoral process began at 7 am and is set to close at 5 pm.

In West Bengal, notably, the death of Trinamool Congress MLA Nasiruddin Ahamed led to the by-election in Kaliganj. A significant moment arose when Congress accused TMC of removing its polling agent, a claim denied by the ruling party.

While Gujarat's Visavadar constituency sees BJP striving to overturn a long-standing electoral jinx, Punjab's Ludhiana West becomes a critical battleground for AAP to maintain its standing post the demise of MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi.
