The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has written a letter to the Election Commission of India (ECI), requesting to reschedule the date of the second phase of the Chhattisgarh assembly polls in view of Chhath Puja festival. The AAP, in its letter to the ECI, has proposed changing the second phase of polling date from November 17 to November 25.
"We all know that people from across the nation, especially from the northern region of the country, are residing in Chhattisgarh. The Chhath Puja, which is the biggest festival of devotion in North India, falls on November 17, 18, and 19. People go back to their homes during that time. As a result, the voting participation will decrease," Chhattisgarh AAP in-charge Sanjeev Jha said while speaking to ANI.
