BJP candidate behind by 9,000 votes in Datia by-election following Narottam Mishra's exclusion
In the Datia Assembly by-election, BJP's Ashutosh Tiwari is currently behind by more than 9,000 votes following nine rounds of vote counting. The party chose not to field former MLA Narottam Mishra for the constituency. Mishra had served as the representative for Datia for three terms from 2008 to 2023, though he was defeated in the 2023 polls. The decision to deny him a ticket sparked protests in the area, which included clashes with police and a 12-hour blockade of the highway.
