The campaign for elections to the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) concluded on Friday with leaders giving last-minute push for their parties and contesting candidates. The polling is scheduled for December 19 across 4,939 booths in the city.
Elections to the 144 wards of the KMC will be held without deployment of central armed police forces after a Division Bench of Chief Justice Prakash Srivastava and Justice Rajarshi Bharadwaj on Friday rejected BJP’s plea for the same.
The court said, “So far, no instance of violence has been pointed out nor along with the writ petition, any such material has been enclosed which furnishes a ground for deployment of the Central Paramilitary Forces in the forthcoming Kolkata Municipal Corporation Elections.”
Congress general secretary and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday said that once the reason for the Ahmedabad plane crash is found, corrective measures need to be taken to protect lives in the future. In a post on ‘X’, Ms. Vadra termed “shameful” and “disappointing” the Indian government’s decision to abstain from the U.N. motion to protect civilians and uphold humanitarian obligations in Gaza. She contended that the Indian government was refusing to take a stand when 60,000 people, mostly women and children, had been killed and the entire population of Gaza were being “confined and starved to death.”
