Both constituencies have witnessed heightened political activity ahead of the by-elections, with security preparations being given top priority.

The upcoming Nandigram and Rejinagar By-Elections have attracted considerable political attention, making law and order arrangements a key focus ahead of polling day.

Final Day of Campaigning in Nandigram and Rejinagar

Sunday marked the final day of campaigning for the by-elections. During the last phase of campaigning, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari appealed to voters to support the BJP candidates contesting from the two constituencies.

In the Nandigram Assembly by-election, BJP candidate Smt. Hasirani Rath sought support from voters. Similarly, in the Rejinagar Assembly by-election, BJP candidate Shri Shankar Sarkar was also projected as the party's candidate.

Suvendu Adhikari appealed to voters to press Button No. 3 and vote for the lotus symbol, urging them to ensure a decisive victory for the BJP candidates in both constituencies.

The final day of campaigning saw political parties intensify their efforts to reach voters before the campaign period came to an end. With polling scheduled for October 6, the focus has now shifted from campaigning to the conduct of the election and maintaining law and order.

Tight Security Arrangements Ahead of Polling

The Election Commission and local administration have taken several steps to prevent possible incidents of violence, intimidation or disruption during polling.

Security has been strengthened around polling stations and adjoining areas. Special attention is also being given to sensitive and potentially vulnerable locations to ensure that the voting process remains peaceful.

The administration is focused on creating an environment where voters can reach polling stations and cast their votes freely. Security personnel are being deployed as part of the wider arrangements to maintain law and order throughout polling day.
