New Delhi:

The counting of votes for the crucial Lok Sabha bypolls on four constituencies – Palghar and Bhandara-Gondia in Maharashtra, Kairana in Uttar Pradesh, and Nagaland – is being taken out on Thursday.

The voting was held in Uttar Pradesh’s Kairana and three other Lok Sabha bypolls on May 28 amid the complaints of malfunctioning of EVM machines in several booths. In Kairana, 54 per cent turn out was recorded, while in Nagaland, the turnout was 70 per cent.

Maharashtra's Bhandara-Gondiya bypoll saw only 38.5 per cent voter turnout. In the crucial Palghar Lok Sabha bypolls 46 per cent polling was recorded. 

The results of these four Lok Sabha seats are important for all four major political parties- BJP, Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP - as the outcome is likely to have a large bearing on next year’s Lok Sabha Elections.

The results of Kairana bypoll in Uttar Pradesh, which saw a ‘Modi versus all’ fight, has become a prestige battle for the BJP and will also decide the future of the anti-BJP front.
