Kolkata: Unlike the 2015 civilian election in Bidhannagar when widespread violence has shook Salt Lake and neighboring regions who leave voters, candidates, and wounded media personnel, residents on Saturday chose large amounts in almost all parts of the city in almost all parts of the city.
Except for a few examples of sporadic problems and irregularities surrounding the accusations of outsiders and false selection by opposition candidates.
With memories of the attack and hooliganism in 2015 it was still fresh in their memories, residents started the day carefully with some voters appearing in the Pollicle in the first hour but when the morning took place and residents learn from neighbors and a good and rare queue.
In the voting booth, they came out in large quantities that left the ghost of 2015.
Increased trust also had a direct impact on the percentage of votes as well as Bidhannagar recorded a picture of the 72% voter.
“In 2015, some of our block residents were beaten in polls to dare to question the movements of outsiders.
Seeing the scenery of violence, we panicked and ran back to our house, only to give our voices far later.
However, on Saturday, there was no violence like That and we chose peacefully at the first effort itself, “said Kalyan Chakraborty (83), a retired official of the department of irrigation and perhaps the first resident of Salt Lake who lived in AB Block since 1970.
As the woman took place out to choose to bring toddlers in the arms Or cycling children beside them, young voters come wear fashionable clothes and stop for custom selfies with family or friends with bay fingers and the elderly coming in groups or families in the morning and afternoon hours chatting among themselves.
The spirit of the day of the poll is proven by voters who are eager to ignore physical discomfort or disability to come out and choose their families who enforce the spirit of democracy.
Retired 70 years of official retirees KMDA Chakraborty is just one of those who came to the poll boast on the EE block with head wrapped.
“He fell into the bathroom four days ago and broke his skull.
He was under painkiller drugs and I asked him to skip the vote on Saturday but he didn’t listen and come a walk even though he was in pain,” his wife said Nupur Chakraborty, who escorted him to the polls boast.
84 years old Chhaya Saha from Blok Da and Pachkori Bhakta aged 90 years is also another vibrant voter who ignored the difficulties in walking and pain knelt when they stepped out to choose the first time post covid.
“My family doesn’t allow me to choose during the assembly selection.
But I can’t miss choosing my voice anymore,” said Saha.
However, even as the majority of residents talk about smooth and peaceful voices throughout the city, there are sporadic examples of irregularities as several candidates and party workers CPM and BJP level allegations of false selection and infiltration of outsiders in the environment for sound rigs.
“I myself captured a lot of fake voters who were handed over.
While some of them fled, some even avoided us.
TMC people carry a group of slip residents who live in other cities or lie in bed,” said Ramola veteran CPM leader Chakraborty stands outside the booth at Ward 32.
Similar complaints also grew up at the AG Block booth, Fe Block, CF Block and Duttabad too.
But there are no voters who are disturbed or hurt anywhere.
Acting on complaints, police, arrested 47 people throughout the day.
