Expansion
Voting is being held in Delhi today on 25 May for the Lok Sabha elections 2024. Voting is progressing slowly at the polling stations, but the kind of heat that is seen during the assembly elections or municipal elections is not visible at the booth. In a very quiet manner compared to the assembly or corporation elections, the workers of political parties are making slips for the voters and helping them to vote. Maintaining the voting percentage amid the scorching heat of Delhi remains a big challenge for the political parties. There is not much crowd at most polling stations. However, voters are coming out continuously and voting is going on continuously.
This time in Delhi, there is a direct contest between BJP and Congress-Aam Aadmi Party alliance. BJP candidates are facing competition from Congress on three seats and Aam Aadmi Party candidates on four seats. Some small political parties or independents have also filed nominations on every seat, but except Rajkumar who left Aam Aadmi Party and joined BSP, no other candidate has any major influence. This is the reason why only two counters are visible at almost every booth. Due to this, voting is going on in a very peaceful manner.
Every arrangement for voters
Volunteers from schools are engaged to help the disabled. Volunteers Rosie and Anju told Amar Ujala that they are helping the disabled or elderly voters. Dinesh Kumar, engaged in security, said that the voters are voting very peacefully and there is no problem anywhere. Adequate arrangements of water and shade have been made for the voters at the polling station.
