Congress’s Ghanshyam Singh wins Datia by-election; BJP’s Ashutosh Tiwari defeated.

Congress candidate Ghanshyam Singh has secured a significant victory in the by-election for the Datia assembly seat in Madhya Pradesh, winning by a margin of over 6,000 votes. Meanwhile, BJP’s Ashutosh Tiwari fell behind in the final results after initially taking the lead. While the outcome of this election will not impact the formation of the state government, the defeat here could increase concerns for the BJP. Despite the drama surrounding the denial of a ticket to Narottam Mishra—which saw his supporters take to the streets before the issue was seemingly resolved following a meeting with the Chief Minister—the BJP still lost the Datia election, and Ghanshyam Singh emerged victorious.
