The 2023 Assembly verdict in Lailunga (ST) was decided with Vidyawati Sidar of the INC finishing first on 84,666 votes. Suniti Satyanand Rathiya of the BJP was second with 80,490 votes, producing an official winning margin of 4,176 votes. The Election Commission of India records 204,520 electors for the constituency and turnout of about 85.89%.

How the Lailunga (ST) contest finished

When counting ended, the central fact of the Lailunga (ST) result was the separation between the top two candidates. Vidyawati Sidar reached 84,666 votes while Suniti Satyanand Rathiya finished at 80,490. The difference of 4,176 votes became the formal measure of the victory. Rather than treating that number in isolation, the constituency result is clearer when it is read alongside turnout and the votes recorded by candidates outside the leading pair.

The third-listed candidate in this result summary, Raghuveer Rathiya of the GGP, polled 2,186 votes. NOTA recorded 2,328. These figures show that the ballot was not confined only to the two leading parties, even though the winner and runner-up accounted for the main contest. They are part of the final result and help describe the full distribution of votes without assigning motives to individual voters.

Turnout gave the contest a broad electoral base

With 204,520 electors on the roll and turnout of about 85.89%, the constituency saw substantial participation in the 2023 Assembly election. Turnout does not by itself explain why a candidate won, but it fixes the scale of the contest: the final margin of 4,176 emerged from a large pool of participating voters rather than from the candidate totals alone.

The margin tells the central story of 2023

For the historical record, the most important comparison is straightforward: Vidyawati Sidar 84,666, Suniti Satyanand Rathiya 80,490, margin 4,176. In Lailunga (ST), that gap is the verified numerical distance between first and second place. Any explanation of the political causes behind the result would require additional evidence beyond the aggregate result table, so this result feature keeps the distinction between what the count proves and what later political interpretation may claim.

Votes beyond the leading pair

Raghuveer Rathiya’s 2,186 votes and the 2,328 NOTA votes remain separate parts of the constituency total. They should not be automatically transferred to either leading candidate in hypothetical arithmetic. For a reader revisiting the 2023 election, their value is factual: they show how many votes were recorded outside the top two and how the final result was distributed across the ballot.

Election Mandi analysis

The verified 2023 record for Lailunga (ST) can be summarised in three numbers: 84,666 votes for the winner, 80,490 for the runner-up and a margin of 4,176. The turnout figure of 85.89% adds scale, while 2,186 votes for Raghuveer Rathiya and 2,328 for NOTA complete the main result picture. These numbers establish what happened in 2023; they do not, on their own, establish how a future election will unfold.
