Keshav was declared the winner of the assembly constituency previously held by Minister Nandi, signalling a shift in local political equations.
Keshav emerged victorious in the recent assembly poll for the constituency that was earlier represented by senior minister Nandi. The Election Commission’s official results confirmed his win, giving him a mandate to serve as the new legislator.
The contest was marked by intense rivalry, with supporters of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and a local police inspector reportedly clashing over the distribution of bangles, a symbolic gesture among local groups. The altercation escalated briefly before medical professionals stepped in to provide first aid to those injured.
Election officials noted that the vote count reflected a clear preference for Keshav, whose campaign focused on development promises and addressing constituency grievances. The victory is expected to reshape the political balance in the area, previously dominated by Nandi’s influence.
Local authorities have called for calm and urged all parties to respect the democratic outcome. Keshav is slated to take oath as MLA in the upcoming legislative session.
