8 Assembly constituencies across 7 states/UT gear up for bypoll on November 11

Eight Assembly constituencies across seven states/UTs are gearing up for by-elections scheduled to be held on November 11.

The by-elections will take place in Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam and Nagrota, Rajasthan’s Anta, Jharkhand’s Ghatshila, Telangana’s Jubilee Hills, Punjab’s Tarn Taran, Mizoram’s Dampa, and Odisha’s Nuapada constituencies.

In Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam, National Conference’s Agha Mehmood will be up against PDP candidate Aga Syed Muntazir Mehdi in the Budgam bye-election.

The by-elections were necessitated after Omar Abdullah resigned from the Budgam assembly seat and retained the Ganderbal constituency.

The Nagrota seat was vacated after the demise of BJP leader and Nagrota MLA Devender Singh Rana.
