Saralnama: The Anta Assembly seat bypoll in Rajasthan's Baran district has become a three-way contest. BJP's Morpal Suman, Congress's Pramod Jain Bhaya, and independent candidate Naresh Meena are in the fray. The seat has swung between BJP and Congress since 2008. BJP won it in 2013 and 2023, while Congress won in 2008 and 2018. The bypoll was called after BJP's Kanwarlal Meena was disqualified. Suman, a local leader, is seen as close to former CM Vasundhara Raje. The result could indicate public mood in the Hadoti region. While not affecting BJP's majority, the outcome will carry political weight for both parties. (Updated 19 Oct 2025, 11:42 IST; source: link)
