Maoist IED explosions left two polling personnel and an equal number of paramilitary jawans wounded in Bastar's Kanker and Narayanpur districts on Monday, a day before the first phase of voting in Chhattisgarh. Maoists have called for a boycott of the assembly polls. In the fortnight leading up to the polls, five people, including two BJP leaders, were murdered by Maoists in Bastar. The first phase involves 20 constituencies, 12 of which are in the Maoist-affected Bastar division.
