June 3rd 2024.
In the city of Kolkata, there is currently a repolling taking place in two booths, one in the Barasat constituency and the other in Mathurapur. This process is being conducted with high security measures in place, ensuring a safe and fair voting environment. The repolling began at 7am and will continue until 6pm, giving ample time for all eligible voters to cast their ballots.
One of the booths undergoing repolling is number 61, located in the Deganga Assembly constituency which falls under the Barasat Lok Sabha. The second booth is number 26, situated in the Kakdwip Assembly constituency which is a part of the Mathurapur Lok Sabha seat. These two constituencies were among the seven that went to polls in the final phase on June 1st. Unfortunately, there were reports of violence in various areas of West Bengal throughout the entire day.
The BJP party has expressed their concerns and demanded a repolling in 412 constituencies, with 400 of them being in the Diamond Harbour constituency and 12 in Mathurapur. However, after careful consideration, the Election Commission of India has decided to only conduct repolling in two booths, none of which are in Diamond Harbour. This decision has been met with dissatisfaction from opposition parties, who believe that there should have been more booths included for repolling, especially in Diamond Harbour where tensions and violence were at its peak on the polling day.
It is worth noting that the Trinamool Congress' General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee is the main candidate in the Diamond Harbour constituency, with BJP's Abhijit Das and CPI's Pratik Ur Rahman as his closest contestants. As the repolling takes place, all eyes will be on these two booths and their results, as it could potentially have an impact on the overall outcome of the elections in West Bengal.
