The 4th and 5th Phase of poll in 9 parliamentary constituencies and 63 assembly constituencies were completed on 13.05.2024 and 20.05.2024 respectively in a peaceful manner without any serious or alarming incident. There was massive voter turnout also. There was re-poll in two booths under Kantamal assembly constituency of Boudh district. The re-polling in two booths was also held peacefully yesterday (23.05.2024). All 11 Naxal affected districts went to poll in the 4th & 5th Phases. At a press conference in Bhubaneswar, DGP Arun Sarangi said, "There was no Naxal related violence during the pre-poll, poll day and post-poll period due to intense anti-Maoist operations and real time intelligence collection. The most significant achievement of this election is peaceful, free and fair conduct of poll in naxal affected areas. The poll boycott call of the Maoist had no effect at all. In the Lok Sabha Election, 1998, the first incident of naxal violence was reported when a mobile party was attacked, and one Havildar expired. Since then in all subsequent elections, there has been serious Maoist violence including attack on poll parties, police forces, destruction of EVMs, bomb blast on the road and non-participation of villagers in voting in naxal areas. We thank our District SsP and the operational forces and CAPF in ensuring incident free poll.
