Voting for single-phase Maharashtra assembly election begins
Voting began at 7 am on Wednesday for the single-phase Maharashtra assembly elections and will conclude at 6 pm. Polling is taking place across 288 assembly constituencies.
Taking the responsibility of poor voting percentage in the Lok Sabha election in respective panchayat areas in three Assembly constituencies, the panchayat pradhans and deputy pradhans have voluntarily submitted resignations to the BDO.
Even though Rachna Banerjee won the Hooghly Lok Sabha constituency, the voting percentage was poor in four panchayat areas of Kodaliya-1, Kodaliya-2 in Chinsurah, Bandel and Debanandapur. In these four panchayat areas, a shortfall of over 7,000 votes was well marked.
Kodaliya-1 panchayat pradhan Sukanta Ghosh, deputy pradhan Debashis Chakraborty, Kodaliya-2 pradhan Bela Majhi Ghosh, deputy pradhan Sucheta Manna, Bandel pradhan Indu Paswan, deputy pradhan Pradeep Roy, Debanandapur pradhan Ruma Pal and deputy Pradhan Piyush Dhar are among those who tendered their resignation voluntarily to the BDO.
