Elections to Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Keralam, and the Union Territory of Puducherry will be announced soon. With the announcement of the high-voltage elections in these four states and one Union Territory, the model code of conduct will come into force, meaning that no political party can now make any announcement to woo voters. Also, the Election Commission now controls the state machinery. According to sources in the Election Commission, elections are likely to be held in a single phase in all states, except Bengal, which makes headlines for political violence in every election. In West Bengal, the sources say, the polls may be conducted over 3-4 phases. During the 2021 Assembly polls, voting in Bengal was held over eight phases. In Assam, the elections were conducted in three phases, while Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry went to the polls in a single phase. From a security perspective, Bengal is considered sensitive, and around 480 battalions of central security forces have already been sent there. The Commission has also said that the deployment of central forces will now be decided by police observers appointed by the Commission in consultation with district officials. Earlier, this responsibility was handled by the district police chief. #tamilnadu #bengalnews #bengalelectionresult #election2026 #cnbctv18digital
