What is happening?
The Election Commission is examining demands for repolling in the remaining 62 booths across four Assembly constituencies in South 24 Parganas district following the second phase of the West Bengal elections held on April 29, officials said on Thursday.
Acting on these reports, chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has directed Special Observer Subrata Gupta to conduct on-ground inspections before any decision is taken.
The Election Commission will take the final call on repolling after Gupta submits his findings.
Repolling will be held between 7 am and 6 pm, according to the Election Commission’s order.
The Commission ordered a fresh poll based on reports from returning officers and observers, taking into account “material circumstances”.
The BJP has alleged widespread electoral malpractices at certain polling stations in both constituencies, which fall under the Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha seat represented by TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee.
