Ghaziabad: In a bypoll that saw one the lowest turnouts in Ghaziabad's electoral history, BJP comfortably held on to the seat, which fell vacant after Atul Garg was elected MP in the Lok Sabha election earlier this year. Its candidate Sanjeev Sharma bagged 63% of the total votes polled, with SP and India bloc candidate Singhraj Jatav a distant second with only 17.7% vote share. In numbers, Sharma secured 96,946 votes, defeating Jatav by a margin of 69,727. The opposition camp had hoped that the low turnout of 33.3% on Nov 20 would work against BJP in a seat that has been a saffron stronghold ever since it was carved out in 2009. But that was not to be. Maharashtra Jharkhand Maharashtra Alliance View i Party View Seats: 288 L + W Majority: 145 BJP+ 229 MVA 47 OTH 12 Leads + Wins : 288 / 288 BJP+ WON Jharkhand Alliance View i Party View Seats: 81 Results Majority: 41 INDIA 56 NDA 24 OTH 1 Results : 81 / 81 INDIA WON Source: PValue Jatav, in fact, escaped forfeiting his deposit by 4,000 votes. The remaining 12 candidates in the fray, which included PN Garg of BSP, Ravi Kumar of AIMIM, and Satyapal Choudhary of Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram), lost their deposits. BSP, AIMIM, and Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) secured 6.9%, 4.2%, and 4.1% vote share, respectively, accounting for only 15.3% of the total votes polled cumulatively. Eight of these candidates bagged fewer votes than NOTA. For BJP, morning showed the day. "Sharma's dominance was clear in the first hour of counting itself. He took the lead at the very start, which only increased as counting progressed. Even though Ghaziabad's voter turnout was the lowest, there was speculation of a tight finish. But the result proved all political pundits wrong," said Pradeep Sharma, the media in-charge of BJP. Of nine seats where bypolls were held in the state, BJP won seven, which gives it a boost after the Lok Sabha setback. SP, on the other hand, did not see momentum from the LS result translate into the bypolls. Sharma (48), who bettered BJP's performance in the last state polls of 2022, attributed his bypoll win to meticulous planning. "Star campaigners like Yogi Adityanath canvassed for votes till the last minute. Even before the bypolls were announced, the one message that Yogi Ji repeatedly gave in his meetings with party workers was not to give in to complacency even though Ghaziabad is considered a BJP stronghold. His advice was well heeded," he told TOI. In the last leg of campaign, BJP focused its campaign in the ‘line paar' area of Vijay Nagar and Pratap Vihar, which accounts for the most number of voters — many of them aggrieved over lack of Ganga water and civic issues. An old hand in the party, Sharma got associated with BJP in 2007 and has held many posts since then. He was president of BJP's youth wing and the mahanagar president since 2019. Under him, BJP improved its performance in the Lok Sabha polls of 2019 and 2024 and the 2022 assembly elections. The fact that Sharma improved ON Garg's voti share only proved his managerial skills. In 2022, Garg secured 61.4% vote share, while Sharma secured 63.2%. In 2017, Garg bagged 55.3% of the total votes polled. In the 2012 assembly election, BJP lost the seat to SP and secured just 28.9% of votes. "From 28.9% vote share in 2012 to 63.2% in 2024, BJP has only improved its performance. Even in the general election, the party has been winning the seat continuously since 2009. BJP's phase could be divided into pre and post-Modi era. In both, BJP has done well to prove Ghaziabad is a ‘safe seat' for it," said political analyst Sanjay Mishra. Asked if there was a division of non-BJP votes and if that helped the party win with such a huge margin, Mishra said, "The combined vote share of BSP, AIMIM, and Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) was only 15.3%. If you were to add this vote share to that of SP, which emerged a distant second, it would come to just 32%. BJP's vote share, meanwhile, is over 63%. So even by that yardstick too, BJP was way ahead." Party supporters erupted in joy after Sharma's victory and burst crackers on the roads, unmindful of high pollution levels. "For the past three months, we have been preparing for this day. We are happy we have achieved the results," said BJP worker Somesh Singh. Sharma, meanwhile, was greeted by MLAs and workers at the party office. "It's your victory," Sharma said as he hugged a party worker.

Tile shop holdings sees $496k in stock purchases by investorsS&P unveils new stocks added to the S&P 500MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With Penn State's strong push for a spot in the College Football Playoff still a couple of wins from completion, the biggest roadblock to a bid for the Nittany Lions in this favorable final third of their schedule has appeared with a trip to Minnesota . That's why this week, naturally, is too early for them to talk about making the inaugural 12-team tournament — as enticing as their prospects might be. “I think the quality of teams that we go in and play each week speaks for itself,” quarterback Drew Allar said. "But as far as rankings, it doesn’t really matter until it matters.” Penn State (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) is fourth in both the AP poll and the CFP rankings this week, needing help for a long-shot hope of reaching the Big Ten title game because of a loss to now-No. 2 Ohio State on Nov. 2. In this new era of playoff expansion, the Nittany Lions are on firm footing for an at-large bid. Lose to the unranked Gophers (6-4, 4-3), however, and that ground could become shaky given the current collection of standout two-loss teams in the SEC. In case the Nittany Lions needed proof of the danger of letting focus diverge, coach James Franklin and his staff can call up the tape from Nov. 9, 2019. That's when an undefeated Penn State team came to Minnesota and lost 31-26 . The Nittany Lions lost again at Ohio State two weeks later and finished 11-2, one of several not-quite performances for this storied program that last went unbeaten in 1994 and hasn't been recognized as national champions since 1986. The Gophers were undefeated themselves after that game before losses to rivals Iowa and Wisconsin ended their Rose Bowl quest. This team isn't on that level of talent and success from five years ago, but the chemistry has been off the charts. Coach P.J. Fleck drew attention to some of the individual standout performances that fueled the signature victory in 2019 in meetings with players this week. “We need our best playmakers to play their best. Penn State’s going to need their playmakers to be their best. That’s what happens in November,” Fleck said. Tyler Warren has already shattered nearly every record for Penn State tight ends. The do-it-all senior become such a force his teammates insist he’s worthy of the Heisman Trophy, tracking toward the top of the NFL draft board for his position next spring. “He’s the best tight end in America, but he’s also the most complete tight end in America," Allar said. Warren is coming off a 190-yard performance at Purdue that included 63 yards on three rushes and 127 yards on eight receptions. “He has the ability to take a play that should be 2 or 3 yards and turn it into 30 or 40,” Gophers defensive end Danny Striggow said. Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter has 171⁄2 tackles for loss, the second-most in the FBS, and eight sacks to match the third-most in the Big Ten. He has a challenging matchup this week with Minnesota left tackle Aireontae Ersery across from him in a battle of projected first-round NFL draft picks. Gophers coaches told Striggow and his fellow defensive linemen a couple of seasons ago to relish the opportunity to face Ersery in practice. “That’s one of the best looks in the country that you’re going to get,” Striggow said. Carter has successfully made the transition from linebacker this season. “He is impacting the game in a number of ways, which creates opportunities for other guys on our defensive line and within our defense and causes a lot of headaches,” Franklin said. “He is becoming more and more of a leader every single day.” Allar and the Nittany Lions have paid particular attention to protecting the ball this week, given the Gophers have 16 interceptions, one short of the national lead. Penn State quarterback Drew Allar feels he’ll need to be especially accurate this weekend considering Minnesota has 16 interceptions on the season. “We’re just going to have to be disciplined and stick to our game plan,” Allar said. The Gophers have a strong group of departing players who will take the field at Huntington Bank Stadium for the final time, including Ersery, quarterback Max Brosmer, wide receiver Daniel Jackson, right guard Quinn Carroll, cornerback Justin Walley, kicker Dragan Kesich and Striggow. “It’s been good to reflect, but it’s not over yet," Striggow said. "Those short windows of reflection, I cut ’em out and then say, ‘We’ve got some more memories to make.’” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
