New Delhi, 19 March (H.S.): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday announced its nominees for five assembly by-elections in Goa, Karnataka, Nagaland, and Tripura, set for polling on April 9 with results on May 4, culminating the process by May 6.
Vacancies arose from the demise of incumbents: Goa's Ponda (ex-Agriculture Minister Ravi Naik), Nagaland's 28-Koridang (ex-Minister Imkong L Imchen), and Tripura's 56-Dharmanagar (ex-Minister Biswa Bandhu Sen). BJP's slate features Ritesh Ravi Naik (Goa-Ponda), Daochier I Imchen (Nagaland-Koridang), Jahar Chakraborti (Tripura-Dharmanagar), Veerabhadrayya Charantimath (Karnataka-Bagalkot), and Srinivas T Dasakariyappa (Karnataka-Davanagere South).
This calibrated deployment fortifies BJP's defenses in NDA strongholds ahead of broader electoral skirmishes.
