New Delhi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday won Gujarat's Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat by a margin of over 7.44 lakh votes, one of the highest in this election, bettering his 2019 victory tally.
The Election Commission of India announced that Shah defeated his nearest Congress rival Sonal Patel by a huge margin of 744716.
The home minister, who had won the seat in 2019 by a margin of over 5.5 lakh votes, won the seat for the second consecutive time and secured 1010972 votes, while Patel got 2,66,256 lakh votes.
In the past, Gandhinagar has been represented in the Lok Sabha by veteran BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani.
In Indore, BJP's sitting MP Shankar Lalwani won by a possible record margin of 11,75,092 votes, while in Assam's Dhubri seat, Congress's Raqibul Hussain is leading over his BJP rival by 983712 votes.
Lalwani defeated his nearest rival BSP's Laxman Solanki, who got 51,659 votes.
In terms of votes, NOTA created a record with 2.18 lakh voters choosing the 'none of the above' option in Indore in the Lok Sabha elections.
Notably, NOTA was invoked by the Congress after its candidate Akshay Kanti Bam withdrew from the Indore election contest at the last moment, a move that knocked the Congress out of the contest from the coveted seat. Bam later joined BJP.
