West Bengal Elections: Ground report from major seat Birbhum

Voting began with a half an hour delay due to a glitch in the EVM, at polling booth number 188 in Birbhum. Final phase of voting in West Bengal today is underway. 

All eyes will be on Trinamool Congress Birbhum district president Anubrata Mondal as he is under the strict surveillance of the Election Commission. Mondal has been placed under surveillance till Friday 7 am, as the chief electoral officer in the state has received “several complaints against him”, an EC official said. The TMC leader was placed under similar surveillance during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and the 2016 assembly polls.
