A Chhattisgarh village that 'elects' two legislators

IndiaTimes Sunday, 5 November 2023
The village of Anjora, with a population of 5,000, is gaining attention as candidates from two constituencies visit to seek votes for the upcoming Chhattisgarh assembly elections. The village is divided by streets, with one half falling under Rajnandgaon constituency and the other under Durg Rural constituency. The interesting division has led to confusion among voters, as candidates from both constituencies campaign in the village. Despite the division, the villagers coexist peacefully and celebrate festivals together. The Chhattisgarh assembly elections will be held in two phases this month.
