Moderate to high turnout marked the bypolls held in 3 Lok Sabha and 33 assembly constituencies on Saturday spread across ten states in an exercise seen as yet another key test of Narendra Modi government’s popularity since it assumed power in May.

The polling in the three LS constituencies — Vadodara (Gujarat), Mainpuri (Uttar Pradesh), where Tej Pratap Singh Yadav, the nextgen of Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav’s extended family is making his debut, and Medak (Telangana) where BJP is locked in a straight fight with ruling TRS — was recorded at 49, 56 and 67 per cent respectively.
While the turnout was 53 per cent in the 11 assembly constituencies in UP, where BJP and its ally Apna Dal are hoping to retain all of them, the nine assembly seats in Gujarat, where the bypoll is considered as much a challenge for Anandiben Patel, Modi’s successor as chief minister, saw 49 per cent polling.

Four assembly seats in Rajasthan saw a voting figure of 66 per cent while contrasting turnout was recorded in Basirhat Dakshin and Chowringhee in West Bengal, where ruling Saradha scam-singed Trinamool Congress is seeking to retain the two seats, with 79.59 and 47.13 per cent respectively.
