TMC’s Jahangir Khan is no longer relevant, not because he withdrew, but because BJP has taken over the power.

   

In the initial April voting, only 4 Central Armed Police Forces personnel were deployed per booth. For the repoll, this was doubled to 8 CAPF personnel inside and outside every single polling booth. Around 35 companies of central forces and 30 Quick Response Teams rigidly patrolled the area.

The complete voting process was monitored using intensive drone surveillance and live webcams at all 285 polling stations.
