4 Lok Sabha, 10 Assembly Bypoll Counting: When and where to watch LIVE Streaming of by-election 2018 results
The by-elections for the four Lok Sabha seats have turned into a prestige issue for the BJP, which is now at the halfway mark of 272 seats in the Lok Sabha after failing to form a government in Karnataka.
The highly-anticipated results of the bypolls for four Lok Sabha seats and ten Assembly seats, along with the elections on Karnataka’s RR Nagar Assembly seat will be announced on Thursday.
On May 28, the four Lok Sabha seats which went to bypolls are Kairana in Uttar Pradesh, Palghar and Bhandara-Gondiya in Maharashtra and the lone Nagaland seat. The ten Assembly seats which went to by-elections are Jokihat (Bihar), Gomia and Silli (Jharkhand), Chengannur (Kerala), Ampati (Meghalaya), Shakot (Punjab), Tharali (Uttarakhand), Noorpur (Uttar Pradesh), Palus-Kadegaon (Maharashtra) and Mahestala (West Bengal).
Interestingly, the Palus-Kadegaon bypoll went unopposed and now the Congress nominee Vishwakeet Kadam's election is a mere formality after the rival BJP withdrew from the race.
The by-elections for the four Lok Sabha seats have turned into a prestige issue for the BJP, which is now at the halfway mark of 272 seats in the Lok Sabha after failing to form a government in Karnataka.
The UP bypolls are also significant because the BJP had recently lost parliamentary bypolls in Gorakhpur and Phulpur which were held by chief minister Yogi Adityanath and deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya.
In Kairana, the BJP is up against a united opposition of Samajwadi party (SP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) and Congress party.
In Maharashtra too, the BJP is facing not just the joint forces of the Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on both the parliamentary seats but also a candidate from its ally Shiv Sena in Palghar.
