Mamata Vs Suvendu in Nandigram
Nandigram will be of the prime focus in the second phase as the assembly seat will witness the tough competition between incumbent Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her former close aide, now a BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari.
All eyes are on Nandigram ever since Banerjee had announced her candidature from there. Nandigram is considered to be a bastion of Trinamool and the Adhikari family, which has influence in nearby over two dozen seats. Banerjee has been camping at Nandigram for the last three days and will remain in the constituency till the voting day.
Election Commission all set to conduct 2nd phase of Bengal polls
The Election Commission said that it has completed all preparations for voting, and that its all-polling parties will reach polling stations by this evening.
"Not even difficult terrain, heavy rain and blocked roads can stop our dedicated officials, who are involved in election duties...for Phase II Polls tomorrow," the EC said as its poll parties headed polling booths through difficult terrains on way in Assam and West Bengal.
All the booths where polling will be held in the second phase will be put under proper security radar as most of the areas are very sensitive, and the borders of the state adjoining other states are being closely monitored, an EC official said.
