Kolkata : The West Bengal BJP has decided to end its ties with Trinamool Congress. BJP will contest the coming Lok Sabha polls on its own.

"The poll alliance between Trinamool Congress and BJP in Bengal no longer exists," state BJP General Secretary Rahul Sinha told to anews agency.
 
"Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, who is eying on Muslim votebank, has openly declared that she does not want to keep truck with BJP in the state." He added.

There will be a different time-table for Voters to cast their votes, in naxal affected areas of Chhatisgarh.

Voting in such areas will start at 7 am and the ballot boxes will be sealed at 3 pm. This change will help the security and polling persons to deposit the ballot boxes in their respective strong rooms before evening.

The Election Commission (EC) has announced these changes citing the security reasons.  

"Looking at the security aspects, voting time has been changed in some constituencies. The same voting time will also be applicable in those booths where election materials will be flown in by helicopters," said Gaurav Dwivedi, Joint Chief Electoral Officer, Chhattisgarh.
