The Patparganj Assembly seat race has intensified with early trends showing BJP candidate Ravinder Singh Negi leading over AAP's Avadh Ojha. As of 10: 15 a.m. Negi held a lead of more than 5000 votes over Ojha. Congress candidate Anil Kumar and BSP's Om Shankar Pandey are also in the fray. The contest, particularly between AAP and BJP, has gained attention as the vote count progresses.
Patparganj was considered a safe seat for Ojha, with Sisodia previously winning the seat in 2013, 2015, and 2020. However, the BJP has surged ahead with a strong early lead as the vote counting began on Thursday morning.
