Fierce Electoral Battles Unfold in Four Indian States Amidst Bypolls

As bypolls take place across Punjab, West Bengal, Gujarat, and Kerala, moderate voter turnout is observed. In West Bengal's Kaliganj, tensions rise over Congress allegations against TMC. The polls in Kerala's Nilambur follow Anvar's resignation. In Gujarat, BJP aims to break its losing streak in Visavadar. Punjab's Ludhiana West faces a crucial test for AAP and Congress.

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.
