Phase 4 of LS polls tomorrow; to cover 7 seats in four states
The fourth phase of Lok Sabha
elections will take place tomorrow covering seven
constituencies in four states where over half-a-crore voters
will decide the fate of 74 candidates.
While the first phase of the nine phased electoral battle
took place on April 7, the polling for the third phase
concluded yesterday evening with an impressive voter turnout.
The states which will be covered in tomorrow's phase are
Goa, Assam, Tripura and Sikkim.
Goa, with two seats, will witness a single phased poll
tomorrow where 19 candidates are in fray for the North and
South Goa constituencies, including those of Congress, BJP,
CPI and other regional parties and independents.
Prominent candidates from North Goa include Ravi Naik
(Cong), BJP's sitting MP Shripad Naik and AAP's Dattaram
Desai. From the South Goa seat, Congress' Aleixo Reginaldo
Lourenco, BJP's Narendra Sawaikar and AAP's Swati Kerkar are
among the prominent contenders.
South Goa's sitting MP Francisco Sardinha (Cong) has not
been given a ticket this time.
In Goa, after every one male voter, two women voters
would be allowed to exercise their franchisee.
This has been done for the first time keeping in mind
that the females need to come out in large number to increase
the voting percentage in the state.
Tripura also goes to poll tomorrow to elect its second
representative to the Lok Sabha from the Tripura East (ST)
constituency.
A multi-cornered contest will take place in the
constituency among the CPI(M), Congress, Trinamool Congress
and BJP.
There are 12 candidates in the fray including CPI(M)'s
Jitendra Chowdhury, who is the state industries minister,
Congress' Sachitra Debbarma, a prominent educationist, BJP's
Parkshit Debbarma, an ex-armyman, and Trinamool Congress
leader Bhriguram Reang.
