With significant lead in the majority of the Assembly segments, BJP candidate Kangana Ranaut has not only solidified her position within the constituency, but also showcased the party’s widespread appeal across diverse demographics.

Meanwhile, the Congress candidate, Vikramaditya Singh, managed to clinch a lead in only four Assembly segments. The significant difference in the number of Assembly segments won by each party underscores the BJP’s overwhelming success in rallying voter support and consolidating its electoral base.
