New Delhi: The counting of votes for the by-polls to seven Assembly seats in Rajasthan is underway with Congress and BJP being the major opponents. The BJP is leading on 3 of 7 assembly seats, while Congress and Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP) are ahead on two seats each, as per the trends. Seven constituencies went to polls on November 13 in Rajasthan —Jhunjhunu, Ramgarh, Dausa, Deoli-Uniara, Khinwsar, Salumber and Chorasi.

Counting of votes for Jhunjhunu and Salumbar assembly segments will be completed in 22 rounds each, Ramgarh in 21 rounds, Deoli-Uniara and Khinvsar assembly constituencies in 20 rounds each, and Dausa and Chaurasi in 18 rounds each. Out of the seven seats that went to the bypolls, four were with the Congress. In two of the seats, the bypolls were held due to the demise of the sitting MLAs — Congress MLA Zubair Khan in Ramgarh and Salumbar’s BJP MLA Amritlal Meena.
In the remaining five constituencies, the MLAs were elected as MPs in the Lok Sabha polls held earlier this year, necessitating the bypolls. Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from Elections and around the world..
