IndiaTimes Saturday, 25 November 2023
The Rajasthan assembly elections recorded a voter turnout of more than 68% by 5pm. The overall polling was peaceful with only a few incidents of violence. The Election Commission aimed for a minimum 75% turnout in each constituency. The highest voter turnout was in Jaisalmer district, followed by Hanumangarh and Dholpur districts. This direct contest between the ruling Congress and the opposition BJP is crucial for both parties ahead of the Lok Sabha polls next year.

Haryana Elections: Deepender Hooda Welcomes October 1st Poll Date, Slams BJP’s "Non-Stop" Corruption

After the Election Commission announced the Haryana elections, Deepender Hooda reacted by saying that elections will be held in Haryana on October 1st. The people of Haryana had been eagerly awaiting this moment for a long time, and there is great joy among the public that the elections have been announced. We welcome this decision by the Election Commission. The Bharatiya Janata Party, which was talking about "non-stop," is indeed non-stop when it comes to unemployment and corruption. But now the people of Haryana will put a full stop to it. This morning, the Chief Minister held a press conference in Chandigarh where he informed the media that there would be no elections yet. This either means he was unaware of the situation, or the Election Commission did not seek any consultation from him, unlike with other state chief ministers. #HaryanaElections #DeependerHooda #BJP #Corruption #Unemployment #Election2024 #HaryanaPolitics #PollAnnouncement #CongressVsBJP #PoliticalShowdown #HoodaSpeaks #Chandigarh #HaryanaVotes #ElectionBattle #October1Polls ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.344~ED.101~
