In one of the closely-watched contests this election, BJP leader Giriraj Singh has bagged 110251 votes in Begusarai (Bihar), accounting for a vote share of around 51.66 per cent.
Former president of the student's union of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Communist Party of India (CPI) candidate Kanhiya Kumar is trailing with 54,951 seats, a vote share of 25 per cent.
The Delhi police on 14 January had filed a chargesheet against Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid and others over Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) sedition row, almost three years after the incident.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
