Counting of votes is underway in three assembly constituencies – Kaliagunj, Karimpur and Kharagpur Sadar in West Bengal and Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand.
The ruling TMC was ahead in all three Assembly segments of the West Bengal. In Pithoragarh, BJP’s Chandra Pant was leading over her nearest rival Anju Lunthi of Congress. Polling to these seats were held on Monday. Kaliagunj seat fell vacant due to the demise of Congress MLA Pramathanath Roy while Karimpur and Kharagpurpur seats were vacated as the MLAs got elected to Lok Sabha.
Pithoragarh seat fell vacant after the death of sitting BJP MLA and Cabinet Minister Prakash Pant in June this year.
