Kolkatta: The first phase of the voting campaign in Bengal and Assam has come to an end. The stage is set in Bengal for a strong triangular contest between the Trinamool Congress, the Left Alliance, and the BJP. The Left has high hopes for victory in the first phase when the tribal areas will be judged.
On the last day, BJP national leaders, including Amit Shah, were campaigning. Amit Shah has made harsh remarks against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Meanwhile, state BJP president Dilip Ghosh’s Bermuda remarks against Mamata Banerjee have become controversial.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission has carried out a major overhaul at the official level. Mamata Banerjee came out against this. The CM alleged that the commission was acting as a pawn for the BJP.
The Election Commission has said that preparations are in full swing for the first phase of polls in Bengal and Assam. It has been deployed in various constituencies, including the Central Army, amidst tensions. Voting will take place in full compliance with the code of conduct.
The first phase of polling will be held in 30 constituencies in Bengal and 47 constituencies in Assam. Bengal, Bankura, Purulia, Thargram, West Midnapore, and East Midnapore will be judged in the first phase. The first phase of elections in Assam, which has witnessed massive protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act, is crucial for the BJP-AGP alliance, which is trying to retain power, and the Congress alliance, which aims to seize power.
