00:06All right, there were certain Boots viewers when West Bengal voted in the second phase
00:10that had reported certain irregularities.
00:13The Election Commission is now all set to hold repolling on the 2nd of May at 15 Boots,
00:20which is tomorrow.
00:21Repolling on 11 Boots in Mangrahat, Paschim, 4 Boots in Diamond Harbour to also vote again.
00:28Reports in relation to complaints related to 144 Faltha Assembly Constituency is awaited,
00:34if you remember.
00:35Faltha, a controversy there where certain voters had alleged that tape was put on the BJP button.
00:43As per sources, the schedule of more than 30 Boots of the Faltha Assembly Constituency is awaited.
00:48So those 30 Boots notwithstanding, the EC has ordered repolling that will take place on the 2nd,
00:572nd of May, which is tomorrow at 15 Boots.
01:01Of course, these 15 Boots do not include the 30 Boots in Faltha.
01:06I want to quickly cut across right now to my colleague Anirban, who's joining us for more.
01:11But before we cut across to him, let's listen in to all the reactions coming in.
01:16What happened in Mangrahat West is welcome.
01:21The Diamond Harbour was supposed to be in 11 Boots, only 4 Boots, and the whole Faltha segment should be
01:27in 60 Boots.
01:28It should be in 60 Boots in the 30 Boots.
01:29How did the Faltha come in order?
01:32How did the Faltha come in order?
01:52So that's a quick reaction coming in from Shivindu Adhikari from the Bharatiya Janata Party.
01:57But the latest is coming in from the Election Commission.
02:00Repolling has been ordered on 15 Boots.
02:02These Boots viewers do not include the 30-odd Boots where a lot of voters had reported anomalies where the
02:12EVMs were concerned.
02:13Now I want to cut across to my colleague Anirban Sinha Roy, who's joining us for more.
02:18Anirban, what's the latest?
02:20Any word coming in on the Boots regarding Faltha?
02:28Well, see, what we have seen so far is the notification given by the ECI,
02:32where it was stated that 15 Boots will go on to repoll tomorrow.
02:36That is on 2nd of May.
02:38And another sources from the ECI as well as the CEO of West Bengal is telling us
02:43that more 30 Boots could go to repoll on 2nd of May either or else 3rd of May
02:49because there is several irregularities being complained from the Faltha Boots
02:54because from the Faltha Assembly constituency where labelling of the tapes in the EVM machines' buttons
03:00and also by allegations by the BJP, where the BJP candidate had complaints against the Trinamul Congress
03:09and also labelling of the buttons that the BJP lotus symbol.
03:14So that's why what we have learned so far is maybe in some time the ECI as well as the
03:20CEO of West Bengal
03:21will give a notification on another 30 Boots that will go on.
03:24Fair enough.
03:25And we are awaiting that, Anir Banh because repolling would need to take place at best by tomorrow
03:31if not day after because counting is on the 4th of May.
