NEW DELHI, Apr 7: Campaigning for assembly elections in Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry concluded this evening, marking the end of weeks of intense canvassing by political parties. Leaders from national and regional outfits held rallies, roadshows, and door-to-door campaigns to woo voters ahead of polling day.
In Assam, the contest has seen high-profile campaigns by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress, and regional allies, with issues ranging from development and employment to identity and cultural preservation dominating the discourse.
Kerala witnessed spirited campaigning by the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF), the opposition United Democratic Front (UDF), and the BJP, with healthcare, welfare schemes, and governance records forming the core of election narratives.
In Puducherry, the fight has largely centered on alliances, with the Congress and DMK on one side and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on the other, each highlighting promises of stability and development for the Union Territory.
The Election Commission of India confirmed that all campaign activities must cease by this evening, enforcing the mandatory silence period before voting. Polling in these regions is scheduled to take place later this week under tight security arrangements.
Officials emphasized that voters should verify polling dates and guidelines with the Election Commission to ensure smooth participation in the democratic process.
