The great Indian tamasha kicked off with 124 constituencies in 17 states going to the polls on Thursday. These included the entire state of Kerala and Chattisgarh, Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, Telangana belt of Andhra pradesh, parts of Orissa, Jharkand, Bihar, Eastern UP, Jammu and parts of the North East.
A 60% voter turnout was reported by the election commission
The EC wanted to get the naxal belt done with in the 1st phase, but despite heavy security the maoists/naxals made their presence felt with attacks in Chattisgarh, Vidrabha, Jharkand and Bihar. The naxals are perhaps the most dangerous threat to the unity of this nation and must be eliminated at all costs.
The carnival moves on with 12 states and 141 constituencies having their say in the poll process of 23rd april.
