June 4, 2024, Ghaziabad: BJP candidate Atul Garg is leading by over 1.5 lakh votes in the Ghaziabad Lok Sabha election, surpassing his main rival, Congress candidate Dolly Sharma. As of 2 PM, Atul Garg has received 432,533 votes, while Dolly Sharma has garnered 280,590 votes. BSP candidate Nand Kishor Pundir trails with 51,697 votes.
Early Competition Turns into a Clear Lead
Initially, the contest between BJP’s Atul Garg and Congress’s Dolly Sharma was tight, but the gap widened as more votes were counted. Atul Garg has now secured a substantial lead of over 1.5 lakh votes, making his victory almost certain. This trend continues the BJP’s winning streak in Ghaziabad from the 2009, 2014, and 2019 elections.
Quotes from Officials and Reactions
“We are confident that Atul Garg will secure a significant victory in Ghaziabad,” said a senior BJP official. “This lead reflects the trust and support of the people in our party’s policies and leadership.” Local residents have expressed optimism, stating that they believe BJP will bring further development to the region.
Impact on the Election Landscape
The significant lead of Atul Garg not only cements BJP’s dominance in Ghaziabad but also impacts the overall political landscape. Congress candidate Dolly Sharma, despite her efforts, seems unable to bridge the gap. The BSP candidate, with a minimal vote count, appears to have had little influence on the election outcome.
Future Prospects and Next Steps
With two to three rounds of counting left, it is expected that Atul Garg’s victory will be officially confirmed by 4 PM. This victory will mark another successful election for BJP in Ghaziabad, reinforcing their stronghold in the region.
