West Bengal: Daily Wage Earner's Wife Chandana Bauri Wins Saltora Constituency On BJP Ticket
Chandana Bauri, BJP MLA from Saltora
Bharatiya Janata Party BJP candidate Chandana Bauri registered one of the significant wins in the West Bengal Assembly polls from the Saltora constituency.
30-year-old Bauri, whose husband, Sraban Bauri is a mason, got 91,648 votes which amount to 45.28 per cent of the total vote share, according to the Election Commission Website.
Nearest candidate Sontosh Kumar Mondal of All India Trinamool Congress trailed by 4,145 votes in the end.
"Before the tickets were announced I had no idea that I would be selected as a candidate in the legislative assembly polls. Many people encouraged me to apply for a nomination online, but I did not think I would be able to achieve this feat." Chandana had told ANI earlier in March.
Saltora, a Scheduled Caste Assembly constituency, has an estimated Scheduled Caste population of 33.39 per cent. The estimated literacy level of the Bankura district in which this constituency falls is 70.95 per cent.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
