1. Of the seven seats, the BJP held three, the Congress two, whereas the Shiv Sena and the RJD had one every earlier than bypolls had been necessitated. Two of those seats are in Bihar, and one every in UP, Haryana, Maharashtra, Telangana and Odisha.

2. Bihar is seeing the primary contest – on two seats – since Nitish Kumar dumped the BJP to revive the JDU’s alliance with Tejashwi Yadav’s RJD. In Mokama, RJD’s Neelam Devi will look to retain the seat earlier held by her husband Anant Singh, a strongman-politician disqualified after being convicted of illegally maintaining weapons.

3. On Bihar’s different seat, Gopalganj, the RJD is hoping to oust the BJP which has held it for almost 20 years now. It has put up Mohan Prasad Gupta, from among the many older social gathering cadre, in opposition to the BJP’s Kusum Devi, whose husband Subhas Singh’s dying necessitated the election.

4. In Haryana, former chief minister Bhajan Lal’s household seat Admapur will resolve whether or not his grandson Bhavya Bishnoi can carry the 68-year legacy ahead after switching from the Congress to BJP. Bhavya’s father Kuldeep Bishnoi, who led the household into the BJP, resigned as Adampur MLA as he defected, resulting in this bypoll.

5. Maharashtra’s Andheri East is seeing two firsts. It’s the primary ballot struggle after Shiv Sena was cleaved into two as Eknath Shinde unseated Uddhav Thackeray to turn out to be Chief Minister with BJP’s assist. And it is the primary in a long time that the Thackerays-led Sena is combating with a brand new identify – Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) – and a brand new image, the ‘mashaal’ or flaming torch.

6. But Andheri will not be a lot of a contest because the BJP withdrew its candidate as a part of “political tradition” in polls necessitated by a pacesetter’s dying. Team Thackeray has put up Rutuja Latke, whose husband Ramesh Latke’s dying led to the competition.

7. In Telangana, Munugode noticed the ruling TRS and its sworn rival BJP struggle it out on the bottom and made allegations involving “crores of rupees” – particularly given Chief Minister Ok Chandrashekar Rao’s ambition to arrange a problem to PM Narendra Modi in 2024. Here the Congress MLA had resigned and is now combating on the BJP ticket.

8. In Odisha’s Dhamnagar, too, the ruling regional social gathering BJD is dealing with the BJP. The BJP gained it final time however MLA Bishnu Charan Sethi’s dying led to this contest. It has fielded his son.

9. In its stronghold UP, the BJP is in search of to retain the Gola Gokarannath seat, which fell vacant after the dying of its MLA Arvind Giri on September 6. The BSP and Congress are maintaining away, so it is a direct struggle between Arvind Giri’s son Aman Giri (BJP) and the Samajwadi Party’s Vinay Tiwari, a former MLA.

10. None of those contests is prone to upset the mathematics for present state governments. But, with regional events trying to put collectively a united entrance for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections – only a yr and a half away – these may function booster pictures, or notion busters, relying on the outcomes.
