Ahead of Phase 2 voting on April 29, the Election Commission has deployed IPS officer Ajay Pal Sharma, a BDS graduate turned “encounter specialist,” as an observer in South 24 Parganas to ensure free and fair polling in the politically sensitive district.
West Bengal: The second phase of voting in the West Bengal Assembly elections will be held on April 29, while the counting of votes for Assam, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala, and West Bengal is scheduled for May 4.
The Election Commission has appointed IPS officer Ajay Pal Sharma, popularly known as Uttar Pradesh’s “Singham,” as an observer in South 24 Parganas, one of the most politically sensitive districts in West Bengal.
South 24 Parganas, a stronghold of Mamata Banerjee's All India Trinamool Congress, is both demographically and politically important. Sharma, known for his tough, no-nonsense policing style and "dabang" image, is deployed in the region to emphasize the gravity of the situation.
