Overview
- Final ECI figures show Pramod Jain Bhaya secured 69,571 votes, defeating BJP’s Morpal Suman on 53,959, with independent Naresh Meena close behind at roughly 53,800.
- Naresh Meena, a recurring Congress rebel backed by RLP and AAP figures, finished a tight third and shaped the three-way contest, as Suman edged him for second by just 159 votes.
- Counting spanned 20 rounds after an 80% turnout on November 11, confirming a decisive result in a constituency long viewed as competitive.
- The bypoll followed the disqualification of BJP MLA Kanwarlal Meena after the Supreme Court upheld his conviction, vacating the seat earlier this year.
- Congress leaders hailed a morale boost while BJP faces scrutiny in Hadoti despite high-profile campaigning by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and former CM Vasundhara Raje.
