Stage Set for By-elections in Six Assembly Constituencies

The stage is ready for by-elections in six Assembly constituencies in the state, scheduled to take place on 13 November.

The by-elections in these Assembly seats became necessary after the MLAs from these constituencies contested in the Lok Sabha election and got elected.
