Polling for the Karanpur Assembly seat in Rajasthan`s Sriganganagar district began at 7 am on Friday, an official said. Surendra Pal Singh TT, the BJP nominee from the seat, has already been sworn in as a minister in the newly-formed state cabinet. "The polling in Karanpur began at 7 am. The polling will be held till 6 pm," District Collector Anshdeep said.
Twelve candidates are in the fray. The election to the Assembly seat was deferred after the death of Congress candidate Gurmeet Singh Koonar. The Congress has fielded Koonar`s son, Rupinder Singh, from the seat. Surendra Pal Singh TT, who has been a state minister previously, was inducted into the cabinet led by Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma as a minister of state (independent charge) on December 30 last year, a move that was opposed by the Congress.
