Election Commission has issued show-cause notices against Aam Adami Party and Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for making remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Polarisation could not dent Karnataka results, which was an encouraging sign of the electorate's maturity. I’ll be disappointed if we get below two-thirds (60 out of 90 seats). This government has done a lot of good work"
More than 860 polling party members were sent through MI-17 helicopters to 156 polling stations in five districts of Bastar division - Sukma, Bijapur, Kanker, Dantewada, and Narayanpur - from November 4 to 6 for voting on November 7.
In 2018, Congress had swept all 14 seats in the Surguja region for the first time since the formation of the state, which gave its tally a considerable boost as it went on to win 68 out of the total 90 seats and oust the BJP from power after 15 years.
The Congress did not give tickets to four sitting MLAs this time Premsai Singh Tekam (Pratappur), Chintamani Maharaj (Samri), Brihaspat Singh (Ramanuganj), and Vinay Jaiswal (Manendragarh).
