Balurghat Constituency:

Voter Turnout: Despite incidents of violence, the voter turnout in Balurghat was noted at 77% until 5 pm.

Candidates: The BJP state president, Sukanta Majumdar, sought re-election from the Balurghat seat, challenging veteran TMC leader and Minister Biplab Mitra.

Darjeeling Constituency:

The Darjeeling hills, known for their long-pending demand for a separate state of Gorkhaland, witnessed a four-cornered contest.

BJP MP Raju Bista contested against party MLA from Kurseong, Bishnu Prasad Sharma, who ran as an independent after his demand to field a “Bhumiputra” was not accepted by the BJP leadership.

The TMC nominated Gopal Lama, supported by Anit Thapa’s Bharatiya Gorkha Prajatantrik Morcha (BGPM), which controls the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA).

Raiganj Constituency:

The BJP fielded Kartick Paul against Trinamool Congress’ Krishna Kalyani, who had earlier been a BJP MLA and switched over to the TMC.

Despite challenges and incidents, voters in West Bengal actively participated in the democratic process during this crucial phase of the elections. 🗳️🇮🇳
