The Congress party is protesting an alleged BJP rally on the polling day of the Manjalpur Assembly by-election, which the ruling party claims is 'voter awareness using drums'.

Political strategist Prashant Kishor has taken a significant lead in the Bankipur by-election in Bihar, posing a challenge to the BJP's stronghold in the region. This bypoll is seen as a crucial test for Kishor's political debut and holds implications for both the BJP and RJD.

Bypolls have commenced in several constituencies across India, including Bankipur in Bihar, Datia in Madhya Pradesh, and Manjalpur in Gujarat, with the Bankipur seat vacant after a BJP leader's resignation.

All eyes are on the by-election results in Bankipur, Datia, and Manjalpur across three Indian states, with these traditional strongholds becoming prestige battles for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The BJP has made a surprising choice for the Manjalpur bypoll, selecting 'outsider' Satish Patel amidst internal factional lobbying for the July 30 bypoll ticket.
