The BJP’s threat continued in the Bageshwar by-election. BJP candidate Parvati Das won in the by-election. The polling was held on 5th September and saw a 55.44 percent voter turnout. However, in the initial trends, both BJP and Congress were in a very close contest to take the lead. Parvati Das won by a margin of 2405 votes over Congress candidate Basant Kumar.
On Bageshwar bypoll results, CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said, “I want to express my gratitude to the voters of Bageshwar… I want to congratulate Parvati Das and this victory is a tribute to Chandan Das.” I once again congratulate the people of Bageshwar that they supported the policies of PM Modi in the country and Uttarakhand.
