While picture in other constituencies of Nagpur city is more or less clear, all eyes would remain focused on South Nagpur where there is so much confusion that most of the political observers have adopted wait and watch policy as outcome is totally unpredictable.
Total 57% voter turnout has been recorded in the assembly segment, which is 1.78% more than recently held Lok Sabha polls and 9.42% more than Assembly polls of 2009. Every prominent candidate claimed a high turn-out of their supporters and is equally confident of victory.
Rhetoric apart, the situation is evenly poised for Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) candidate Sudhakar Kohale, former minister and Congress heavyweight Satish Chaturvedi, NCP’s Dinanath Padole, Sena rebel Shekhar Sawarbandhe, Sena candidate Kiran Pandav and BSP’s Satyabhama Lokhande and all of them have their own pockets of influence, where heavy polling was witnessed. BJP is expecting to repeat its Lok Sabha performance when it established a massive lead of over 60,000 votes over Congress.
Right from the morning, the South Nagpur constituency witnessed excitement and long queues were observed at some of the polling stations. The sudden rainfall caught voters and candidates unawares and it slowed down the voting a bit from 9 to 11 am. Braving this rainspeall, some enthusiastic youngsters came out in large numbers to exercise their democratic right and posted their selfies on social media.
In first two hours between 7 am and 9 pm, the assembly segment have registered merely 4.20% voting percentage. This is the timing when the assembly segment had registered more than 9 % of voting during last Lok Sabha polls.
As the clouds got cleared, the voters thronged polling stations and in next two hours the polling percentage tripled i.e 12.04%. Between 11 am and 1 pm, the flow of voters continued and reached to 21.3%. Till 3 pm, 36.12% voters cast their right and the percentage reached upto 48.10%. As per the district authorities, total 57% voters have voted in the election. As the voting percentage is much more than pervious assembly election and little more than even Lok Sabha elections, it has raised curiosity among voters and supporters of all candidates.
