8.24 am: In Gujarat, early trends show the BJP losing ground to the Congress in at least three of the nine seats that voted on Saturday. The BJP had held all those nine seats, with their MLAs going on to win the Lok Sabha polls in May.

The resignations of Prime Minister Modi from Vadodara in Gujarat, Mulayam Singh Yadav from Mainpuri in UP and K Chandrasekhara Rao from Medak in Telangana necessitated the Lok Sabha bypolls in the three seats.

The BJP's Ranjan Bhatt is leading by over a lakh votes in Vadodara where the Gujarat BJP has cancelled its victory procession in view of the massive floods in Jammu and Kashmir.

The other states where bypolls were held on Saturday are Rajasthan (4), Assam (3) and one each in Tripura, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Sikkim.
