The poll panel, in a communiqué, said, “904 candidates from eight States/UTs to contest elections in the seventh phase of Lok Sabha elections scheduled for polling on 1st June.”
In the complaint, the TMC quoted Gangopadhyay as saying, "Mamata Banerjee, how much are you being sold for? Your rate is 10 lakhs, why? Because you're getting your makeup done by Keya Seth? Mamata Banerjee, is she even a woman? I keep wondering sometimes."
An estimated 27.76 per cent of voters have exercised their franchise in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh on Monday.
The ‘Bulawa Tolis’ will include BLOs, local-level ASHA and Anganwadi workers, Yuvak Mangal Dal, and Panchayat-level personnel.
