Deepender Deswal
Hisar, November 1
Campaigning ended in the Adampur Assembly constituency on the last day of electioneering today where the electorate will cast their votes on November 3. There are a total of 22 candidates in the fray comprising BJP candidate Bhavya Bishnoi, Congress's Jai Prakash, INLD candidate Kurda Ram Nambardar and AAP nominee Satinder Singh.
However, political experts stated that there seemed to be a direct fight between the BJP and the Congress in the byelection. A total of 1,71,437 voters will exercise their franchise to elect their representative on November 3. The byelection was necessitated after sitting MLA of the Congress, Kuldeep Bishnoi, resigned when he joined the BJP in August. Now, Kuldeep's son Bhavya is the BJP candidate.
With the end of campaigning, DC Uttam Singh, directed the leaders and political workers who were from outside the Adampur constituency and campaigning in Adampur, to leave the segment.
He said 180 polling booths had been set up in the segment, which included 39 hyper sensitive and 36 sensitive booths.
