Kolkata, April 28
The intensely contested Lok Sabha battle in West Bengal is set to witness some big fights that would determine the fortune of several star candidates, including two Union Ministers, in the fourth phase on Monday, when eight seats are up for grabs on Monday.
The poll caravan would complete its lap of Murshidabad district, and roll into Nadia, the birthplace of Vaishnava saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, before traversing what is considered the rice bowl of India, Burdwan East and Burdwan West districts.
Also on the poll bandwagon is Birbhum district, that houses the Visva Bharati University set up by Asia’s first Nobel laureate poet Rabindra Nath Tagore, with its two seats.
An electorate of 1,34,28,693, spread across 15,277 polling stations, will decide the fate of 68 candidates in Jangipur, Krishnanagar, Ranaghat, Burdwan East, Burdwan-Durgapur, Asansol, Birbhum and Bolpur constituencies. — IANS
