New Delhi : In states like Maharashtra, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections have passed. After that, the bugle of assembly elections will soon be sounded in 5 important states including West Bengal in the country. Currently, the Election Commission is on a tour of various states. Also, errors in the SIR i.e. voter list revision work in some states are being rectified. Election dates will be announced as soon as this work is done.

West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala elections have been won by the BJP. On the other hand West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin has also started vigorous preparations. Compared to 2021, it is a bit late to announce the election program this time. In 2021, the election program was announced in West Bengal on February 26.

Meanwhile, the commission will pay special attention to youth and first-time voters in the celebration of democracy. The commission will also focus on encouraging voters to exercise their right while emphasizing on the design and distance of polling stations to make voting convenient for voters.

Preparations for Rajya Sabha have started from many parties

On the other hand, although assembly elections are going to be held in five states, on the other hand preparations are underway for seven Rajya Sabha seats in Maharashtra. There is still a rift in the Mahavikas Aghadi over one of these seats, and there is still no consensus on whether Shiv Sena’s Thackeray group candidate or NCP president Sharad Pawar will go to the Rajya Sabha. One Rajya Sabha seat is being claimed by three parties in Mahavikas Aghadi. After Thackeray’s Shiv Sena MLA Aditya Thackeray, now MLA Varun Sardesai has also claimed. Sardesai expressed the position that Sharad Pawar is a great leader, but we will not leave the seat.
