Election Commission to announce Bengal Assembly election dates today
New Delhi: The Bengal Assembly election dates will be announced at 4 pm, the Election Commission said on Sunday, the morning after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in the heart of Kolkata.
The poll panel's special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is still not complete in Bengal, where around 60 lakh people are under "adjudication".
The prime minister on Sunday said the countdown to the end of the "maha jungle raj" under the Trinamool had begun in Bengal.
In 2021, the Bengal elections were held over eight phases. Opposition parties like the BJP and CPM have asked for fewer election days this time.
