The counting began on October 23, 2023, at various centers across the Nagrota constituency.<\/p>\n<p>As per preliminary data from the Election Commission, Devyani Rana has garnered <strong>2,477 votes<\/strong>, while her nearest competitor, <strong>Harshdev Singh<\/strong> of the Panthers Party, trails with just <strong>1,366 votes<\/strong>. The candidate from the National Conference, <strong>Shamim Begum<\/strong>, is in third place with <strong>1,110 votes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This by-election in Nagrota holds significant importance as it tests the political waters ahead of the upcoming state elections. BJP&#8217;s strengthening position in this constituency reflects ongoing support in the region, particularly among core voters.<\/p>\n<p>Political analysts note that early trends indicate solid backing for the BJP. &#8220;Devyani&#8217;s performance in Nagrota may hint at a larger trend regarding party stability in Jammu and Kashmir,&#8221; said <strong>Rajesh Sharma<\/strong>, an expert in local electoral politics.<\/p>\n<p>The Nagrota Assembly constituency has traditionally been a bastion for the BJP, making the party&#8217;s lead a crucial indicator of its continuity in influence and governance. Voter turnout has been reported at approximately 55%, which is fairly robust for an assembly by-election.<\/p>\n<p>As the counting continues, all eyes remain on whether this lead will sustain through to the final tally, signaling potential outcomes for future electoral battles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an early counting round of the Nagrota by-election, BJP candidate Devyani Rana secures a lead over her rivals, indicating a strong performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3512,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,35],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3513","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jammu","8":"category-kashmir"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
