Bye-Election 2014: Campaign for Gujarat, Medak and Assam bypoll ends
Telangana
The campaign for the by-election to Medak Lok Sabha constituency in Telangana, scheduled for September 13, ended on Thursday evening. The election was necessitated after TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao quit as the MP after he became the Chief Minister of the newly-created state. Determined to retain the prestigious seat, TRS has fielded K Prabhakar Reddy. State ministers and other leaders campaigned hard in the constituency. Union ministers Prakash Javadekar and Sadananda Gowda addressed an election rally in the district today, asserting that Jayaprakash Reddy as the MP can ensure faster development of the region. The main opposition Congress has fielded former minister V Sunita Laxma Reddy.

Gujarat
Dampened by rain-related issues, the lacklustre campaign for the by-polls to Vadodara Lok Sabha and nine assembly seats in Gujarat, came to an end on Thursday with the ruling BJP seeking votes in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, even as the Congress looks to capitalise on his absence. Heavy rains in Central and North Gujarat disrupted the campaign as public rallies of Union HRD minister Smriti Irani and the Chief Minister were cancelled in Vadodara.
