Voting began on Thursday for Assembly by-elections in Bihar's Bankipur, Madhya Pradesh's Datia and Gujarat's Manjalpur constituencies, with polling taking place at designated booths across the three states. The votes will be counted on August 3.
In Bihar, polling is being closely watched in the high-profile Bankipur constituency, which fell vacant after BJP leader Nitin Nabin resigned as MLA following his election to the Rajya Sabha. Nabin had retained the seat in the 2025 Assembly election, defeating RJD's Rekha Kumari by 51,936 votes.
