July 8th 2023.
Residents of Nandigram Block 1 in Purba Medinipur district are boycotting the 2023 West Bengal Panchayat elections. According to Govind, a voter from the area, there are no Central forces deployed at booth numbers 67 and 68 in Mahammadpur No. 2 area.
He says that the area is prone to booth capturing by the Trinamool Congress (TMC). To make matters worse, they also do bogus voting in the name of deceased people. Govind states that they will not allow anyone to vote unless Central forces come to the area.
Meanwhile, people are queuing up to cast their votes in Dinhata. Despite the rainfall, voters were seen waiting in line at a polling station in Basanti of South 24 Parganas district.
On his way to a polling booth in Basudebpur of North 24 Parganas, Governor CV Ananda Bose stopped by a few Communist Party of India (CPI) candidates. He listened to their various issues before continuing on his way.
Unfortunately, a polling booth at Baravita Primary School in Sitai, Coochbehar was vandalised and ballot papers were set on fire.
Voters were seen standing in a queue outside a polling booth in Murshidabad to cast their votes. The counting of votes will take place on July 11.
Voting is also underway in Nandigram. A total of 63,229 gram panchayat seats, 9,730 panchayat samiti seats, and 928 zilla parishad seats are being held in the elections. The counting of votes will also take place on July 11.
