New Delhi:
After the first few rounds of counting, the BJP is leading in JJ Gokaranath in Uttar Pradesh, Adampur in Haryana state and Damnagar in Odisha state as vote counting began on Sunday in sub-districts of seven constituencies in six states. The RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal) party is leading in Bihar after winning the Parliament seat in Mukama with more than 16,000 votes.
Telangana Rashtriya Samethi of K family Chandrashkar advances in Mongod and the Shiv Sena faction led by Uddhav Thackeray is set to win the seat of Andheri East in Mumbai.
While the results are likely to upset the mathematics of current state governments, the competitions are seen as a battle for family legacy in Haryana and battles for prestige in Telangana, Bihar and Maharashtra.
With regional parties forging a united front for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections – just a year and a half later – the poll results could be booster shots, or perception breaches, depending on the results.
The fierce battle is between the BJP and regional parties like Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Samajwadi Party (SP), and Biju Janata Dal (BJD).
