WB Polls: Fulta Re-Polling High Turnout As Voters Cast Ballots Without Fear After TMC Candidate Exit

Key points· Video

• Re-polling in West Bengal's Fulta assembly constituency is witnessing a brisk voter turnout, recording twenty percent voting by 9 AM.
• Voters are queuing up in large numbers across two hundred and fifty polling booths, exercising their democratic rights without fear.
• The re-polling follows allegations of voter intimidation and pressure during the initial phase two voting on April 29. The political landscape in Fulta shifted significantly after the Trinamool Congress candidate withdrew from the race just two days before the re-polling.
• This withdrawal prompted the Bharatiya Janata Party to mock the ruling party candidate's previous claims of unyielding strength.
• Local voters report a peaceful, festival-like atmosphere, contrasting it with the fear that dominated the region for the past fifteen years.
