Actor Hema Malini leads the vote-counting in the Mathura constituency in the early trends today at 9 am.

In Mathura, actor-turned-politician Hema Malini of the BJP, on a hat-trick trail, was pitted against Mukesh Dhangar of the INDIA bloc and Suresh Chandra of the BSP. 

A local political observer had claimed, “Interestingly, few in Mathura know who the opposition candidates are. It is a one-sided contest because the voters are only concerned about Prime Minister Modi. That apart, with Jayant Choudhary now aligned with the NDA, the Jat votes are likely to go in favour of the BJP this time.”
