West Bengal polls: EC scraps Falta election, orders repolling on May 21
Bengal's electoral landscape has shifted as the Election Commission cancelled polling in Falta constituency due to widespread EVM tampering.
A repoll is set for May 21, making it a unique post-result election.
Allegations of threats against villagers and the arrest of a candidate's aides have heightened tensions, focusing attention on the remaining seats to decide the state's next government.
