बंगाल और असम में आज विधानसभा चुनाव के दूसरे चरण के लिए वोट डाले जा रहे हैं. पश्चिम बंगाल की 30 विधानसभा सीटों पर 171 प्रत्याशी तो असम की 39 सीटों पर 345 उम्मीदवार किस्मत आजमा रहे हैं. आज हर किसी की नज़र बंगाल की नंदीग्राम सीट पर है, जहां ममता बनर्जी और शुभेंदु अधिकारी के बीच महामुकाबला है.
All eyes are on Nandigram today where Mamata Banerjee has challenged her confidante-turned-rival Suvendu Adhikari in a prestige battle. In the high-stake poll battle, this time a victory is a must for Mamata Banerjee, who is running for the third successive term as the chief minister so that she can lead the government and keep together her party, which is faced with exodus. For Suvendu Adhikari it is a battle for political survival as a defeat would be a devastating blow and might also put a question mark on his political graph in his new party the BJP.
