Counting Of Votes For Bypolls In 7 Seats Across 5 States Today
Counting of votes for the bypolls in seven assembly seats spread across five states will take place today. The bypolls were necessitated by the deaths of their sitting MLAs, including former Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, who died in a plane crash in January.
Votes in these seats were cast on April 9 and April 23. The constituencies that went to bypolls are: Umreth in Gujarat, Bagalkot and Davanagere South in Karnataka, Rahuri and Baramati in Maharashtra, Koridang in Nagaland, and Dharmanagar in Tripura.
Maharashtra Bypolls
The Baramati assembly seat in Maharashtra's Pune district is the stronghold of the politically influential Pawar family. Ajit Pawar, the sitting MLA, died in a plane crash on January 28, leaving the seat vacant. His wife, NCP chief and Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar, is contesting from the seat.
Sunetra Pawar is the only candidate from a major political party contesting the Baramati Assembly bypoll. 22 independent candidates are also contesting for the seat, including Karuna Munde, the estranged wife of NCP leader Dhananjay Munde.
Maharashtra's Rahuri assembly seat has been vacant since BJP MLA Shivaji Kardile's death in October last year. His son, Akshay Kardile, is the BJP's candidate and is pitted against NCP (SP) candidate Govind Mokate and Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi's Santosh Chalke.

Karnataka Bypolls
The bypolls in Karnataka were necessitated by the deaths of senior Congress MLAs H Y Meti (Bagalkot) and Shamanur Shivashankarappa (Davanagere South). The poll contest is being seen as a fight for prestige between the ruling Congress and the BJP.
The BJP has fielded a former MLA, Veerabhadrayya Charantimath from Bagalkot, and a fresh face, Srinivas T Dasakariyappa, from Davanagere South. From the Congress, Umesh Meti is contesting from Bagalkot and Samarth Mallikarjun from Davanagere South.
Umreth Assembly Bypoll
The Umreth assembly bypoll in Gujarat's Anand district was necessitated by the death of BJP MLA Govind Parmar. Five candidates are contesting the bypoll. However, the main contest is between BJP's Harshad Parmar, who is the son of the late MLA, and Congress's Bhrugurajsinh Chauhan.
Election results: Security personnel outside a counting centre.
Koridang Assembly Bypoll
The Koridang Assembly bypoll in Nagaland's Mokokchung district was necessitated by the demise of sitting BJP MLA Imkong L Imchen. Six candidates are in the fray for the seat, including BJP nominee Daochier I Imchen, who is also the consensus candidate of the Peoples' Democratic Alliance (PDA) government led by Naga Peoples' Front (NPF), Congress candidate T Chalukumba Ao, NPP's I Abenjang, and Independents Imchatoba Imchen, Imtiwapang, and Toshikaba.

Dharmanagar Assembly Bypoll
The Dharmanagar Assembly bypoll in Tripura was necessitated by the death of Assembly Speaker and MLA Biswa Bandhu Sen of the BJP last December. The seat shares borders with Assam and Mizoram, and has remained a stronghold of either the Congress or the BJP since 2008.
It is a triangular fight between Jahar Chakraborti of the ruling BJP, Chayan Bhattacharjee of the Congress, and Amitabha Datta representing the CPI(M)-led Left Front.
The bypoll in Goa's Ponda, which was scheduled on April 9, was cancelled by the Bombay High Court hours before polling.

Babar Azam Minces No Words, 'Answers Back' To 90s Pakistan Cricketers
Star batter Babar Azam has responded to criticism from former Pakistan players, asserting that there should be no room for 'below the belt' attacks on individuals. While admitting that facing scrutiny is part of the job, Babar claimed that 'personal attacks' have become far too common, especially within the Pakistan cricketing landscape. The former captain also sympathized with teammate Shadab Khan for speaking out against criticism from ex-players following the team's early exit from the T20 World Cup earlier this year.
Responding to the likes of Shahid Afridi and Mohammad Yousuf, Shadab directed a sharp retort at the former players, noting that they were never part of a team that defeated India in a World Cup game. His comments have sparked a massive furore back in Pakistan.
"When they speak about things, it's right, but if the current player has said something, it's not right. Anyway, it's a different ball game. Shadab said something in the heat of the moment. Everyone has their own way of speaking," said Babar on Zalmi TV.
Babar admitted that while former cricketers have the right to criticize the current players, they must remain respectful to avoid unnecessary conflict.
"But in the end, you are just fighting among yourselves. There should be an effort to support the Pakistan team. Yes, we didn't do well in the T20 World Cup. We know we didn't perform well," he added.
He added that it is difficult to stop people from speaking their minds due to social media.
"There is no comparison. If you talk about the 90s cricketers, they are very experienced. They have played more cricket. If they think we are making mistakes, then we must be. But sometimes, there are personal attacks. When that happens, a player thinks about answering back," he said.
Meanwhile, Babar will be in action on Sunday as Peshawar Zalmi eye PSL glory against the Hyderabad Kingsmen.
