Kolkata/Lucknow/Kottyam: The results for bypolls to seven assembly seats in six states will be declared on Friday in what is being seen as a major test for the opposition alliance I.N.D.I.A. against the BJP-led NDA ahead of the polls in five states later this year and Lok Sabha elections in 2024.Â
At 8 a.m., polling places across the states will open for the start of vote tallying.
A total of seven seats went to the polls on September 5: Bageshwar and Ghosi in Uttarakhand, Puthuppally and Kerala, Dhupguri and West Bengal, Dumri and Jharkhand, and Boxanagar and Dhanpur in Tripura.—Inputs from Agencies
