SILCHAR: BSF personnel deployed vehicles and opened border gates early on Thursday to help at least 70 families living beyond the barbed-wire fence along the India-Bangladesh border in Assam’s Sribhumi district reach polling stations and cast their votes, turning the exercise into a strong assertion of identity for residents of Karimganj South assembly constituency. The voters are from five villages – Gabindapur, Uttar Lafasail, Tesua, Deutoli and Maishashan – that lie outside the fencing and are physically cut off from the Indian mainland. “BSF opened the gates early and helped us reach the polling booths in their own vehicles. It was a huge convenience,” said a local voter. After polling, BSF personnel dropped the villagers back home. “We are sincere about voting because it reassures us that we are Indians, and not just residents of a forgotten st-rip of land,” the voter added. Sources said BSF had also facilitated electioneering in the run-up to polling by managing border gates and allowing candidates and their supporters to enter these remote settlements near the Zero Line. The villages remain outside the fence because of India-Bangladesh protocol, which bars permanent construction or fencing within 150 yards of the actual border. Residents of these settlements live under tight movement restrictions, with border gates usually shut from 7pm to 6am. “In case of emergencies, we are always there to help and transport them to the nea-rby town, even after stipulated hours,” a BSF official said. Govt is working to rehabilitate villages located outside the fence in Sribhumi. The district shares a 92-km border with Bangladesh. In neighbouring Cachar district, which has a 32-km border with Bangladesh, all villages that had once remained outside the fencing have been rehabilitated within the barbed-wire perimeter over the past few years.

KOLKATA: Arrested in the Vidyasagar statue vandalism case in 2019, BJP’s Rakesh Singh filed his nomination on Thursday, the final day for submissions, from the Kolkata Port seat while carrying a portrait of Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar, a 19th-century social reformer and one of Bengal’s icons. The state govt had earlier informed Calcutta high court that Singh is a historysheeter and has 56 criminal cases against him in which he has been granted bail. Singh, who was in Presidency Jail for five-and-a-half months, was released after the HC granted interim bail on April 6 to contest the assembly polls. Singh’s election affidavit, which must declare all pending criminal cases against him, was unavailable on the EC website until Thursday night. With rain playing spoilsport, Singh’s much-hyped nomination procession featuring Suvendu Adhikari and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut had to be cancelled, and he was accompanied by family members and 12-15 supporters as he went to file his papers. He said Trinamool govt had falsely accused him of vandalising Vidyasagar’s bust. “My mother did not raise me to be a hooligan,” said Singh, raising Vidyasagar’s portrait above his head. “I will campaign from Friday and will reach every corner to prove there is no ‘mini Pakistan’ here,” he added. Singh faces no fewer than 91 cases. The BJP candidate said several established netas had even larger numbers of “politically motivated” cases against them.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Glimmer Of Hope’: Mauritius PM Hails India’s Support Amid Iran Crisis, Eyes Key Oil And Gas DealElection Season Kicks Off With Record Voter Turnout In Assam, Puducherry As Kerala Clocks 77% VotingIndia Withdraws Bid To Host COP33 In 2028 — Here’s Why The Government ReconsideredIndia Ramps Up Gulf Outreach: Hardeep Puri Heads To Qatar, Jaishankar to UAE After US-Iran TruceAre You A ‘Worker’ Or Just An Employee?

12 Former chief minister J Jayalithaa often campaigned from her campaign vehicle, with her close aide V K Sasikala seated in the back, watching as constituents and media gathered around her van. Sasikala has now moved to the front.Evoking memories of Jayalalithaa’s roadshows, Sasikala delivers short speeches from her van at key constituencies in south Tamil Nadu. Only, she contests the ‘two leaves’ symbol. “I want people to decide whether they want a rule of betrayers and evil forces or one by selfless leaders,” she says at Thiruparankundram in Madurai, before moving to Arapalayam.On Arappalayam cross road, her party’s candidate stands with folded hands on a platform about 300ft away, reminiscent of the way Jayalalithaa’s candidates were presented during her campaigns.In her five-minute speeches, she takes indirect jabs at AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami. Sasikala, who floated her party All India Puratchi Thalaivar Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam just before the election announcement, has fielded candidates in 75 constituencies. Most of them are from southern districts, eyeing Thevar votes.She also recalls her association with Jayalalithaa. “As soon as I reached here, my mind goes back to the days when I visited the place with Amma,” Sasikala says, turning emotional at Theni’s Andipatti. A few people from the crowd reach out, asking her not to worry. “We are there for you,” shouts one.On the banners around, Sasikala is placed alongside MGR and Jayalalithaa, with posters calling her ‘Thyaga Thalaivi’ instead of ‘Chinnamma’. Political observers note that while the presentation echoes Jayalalithaa, Sasikala’s delivery differs.”Sasikala’s speech is slow and paced but lacks the modulation of Jayalalithaa, who often turned aggressive while targeting M Karunanidhi,” says political commentator Durai Karuna.He said Sasikala tried to replicate Jayalalithaa’s persona by adopting the late leader’s hairstyle and trademark green saree but has toned it down after criticism.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Glimmer Of Hope’: Mauritius PM Hails India’s Support Amid Iran Crisis, Eyes Key Oil And Gas DealElection Season Kicks Off With Record Voter Turnout In Assam, Puducherry As Kerala Clocks 77% VotingIndia Withdraws Bid To Host COP33 In 2028 — Here’s Why The Government ReconsideredIndia Ramps Up Gulf Outreach: Hardeep Puri Heads To Qatar, Jaishankar to UAE After US-Iran TruceAre You A ‘Worker’ Or Just An Employee?
