Bankipur, Datia, Manjalpur bypolls: Polling begins as BJP, Congress, Jan Suraaj battle for key seats

Voting is being held on Thursday (July 30) for Assembly bypolls in three politically significant constituencies in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. Electors in Bihar's Bankipur, Madhya Pradesh's Datia and Gujarat's Manjalpur are casting their votes, while the counting of votes and declaration of results will take place on Monday (August 3). The bypolls have become crucial for both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress, with each constituency presenting a different political challenge. While the BJP is looking to retain two of its traditional strongholds, the Congress is aiming to capitalise on local factors and anti-incumbency to improve its tally. https://ift.tt/inVoqzD
