SAD candidate Sukhwinder Kaur Randhawa fought hard but finished second. Independent candidate Mandeep Singh, supported by the Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De), also stayed in the contest. Congress’ Karanbir Singh Burj and BJP’s Harjit Singh Sandhu were among the 15 candidates who contested the seat.

The counting began at 8 am at the International College of Nursing, Piddi. The voter turnout reached 60.95 per cent, showing strong public interest in the bypoll. The seat became vacant after the death of AAP MLA Kashmir Singh Sohal in June.

Deepak Reddy left the counting centre after the seventh round. Later, he spoke to the media and raised strong concerns. He said the election saw heavy money flow and misuse of power. He also claimed that the final three rounds would favour the BJP. Despite the low numbers, he expressed hope that he would secure his deposit.

The BJP candidate also criticised the ruling party for influencing the process. He stated that voters observed these issues throughout the campaign. He added that the party would review the entire polling pattern after the results.

Meanwhile, Congress supporters celebrated early trends. They expected a clear victory for Naveen Yadav as his lead kept increasing.

By the end of two rounds, the BJP received only 307 votes. A total of 31,182 votes were polled in the Sheikhpet Division. A slight advantage has been recorded for the Congress here. The party had focused on this division from the beginning and expected a larger lead. However, it managed to stay ahead with a margin of 1,144 votes over the BRS.

The BRS expected silent voters to support its candidate. Those expectations were not met, resulting in a setback for the party. With the counting in Sheikhpet completed, attention has now shifted to the Vengalrao Nagar and Somajiguda divisions.

These two divisions have a higher presence of settlers and upper-middle-class voters. The direction of these votes could impact the final result. Whether the BRS candidate can overtake the Congress will be known as the next rounds are counted.
