The huge eight-stage voting in India's West Bengal Assembly will end on Thursday. In the eighth phase, voting will be held in 35 constituencies in Malda, Murshidabad, Kolkata North and Birbhum.

Most of the seats will be a three-way fight this time. In six constituencies in Malda, the BJP, Congress-Left alliance and Trinamool candidates will be in a fierce battle. In 2016, the BJP won the Vaishnavnagar seat of the state for the first time.

In the context of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP was ahead of the Left-Congress alliance in six seats by a huge margin in four seats.

The BJP leadership hopes that the continuity will be maintained in today's polls. Malda district BJP president Govind Chandra Mandal said the BJP's organizational strength has increased in these constituencies.

That is why a large section of the Trinamool leadership has joined the BJP before the elections. He said, 'The people are disgusted with the BJP rule.

Voters who have gone to Padmaphule will salute the humanitarian mentality of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and rely on the pair of flower symbols. Meanwhile, Malda is known as the base of Gani Khan. ABA Gani Khan Chowdhury is an eminent Congress leader.

Everyone knows him as 'Barkatada'. He was a MLA for 23 years from 1957 to 1980. He was also the Minister of State during the Congress period in West Bengal from 1972 to 1977. Not only that; He was also the Union Railway Minister during the tenure of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. He was the chief craftsman of the Calcutta subway and cycle rail.

Gani Khan died in 2006. After that Gani Khan's successors came in charge of Malda Congress. Gani Khan's nephew Isha Khan Chowdhury said that the people of Malda had trusted the Congress before and will continue to do so this time.

The Trinamool Congress wants to attack 11 seats in the district this time. However, the Congress does not want to lose this long-standing base. The Election Commission has issued new guidelines in the wake of the Corona infection.

The commission said on Wednesday that if candidates did not receive two doses of the vaccine, they would not be able to enter the counting center on May 2.

Negative report of Corona test should also be shown. Candidates have to take Corona test 48 hours before the count.

According to the commission, the directive has been issued keeping in mind the growing number of infections in the country.
