BJP had written a letter to EC
Haryana BJP President Mohan Lal Badoli had written a letter to the Election Commission in which he had asked to change the polling date of October 1 due to fear of low voter turnout. He says that there are many holidays before and after the polling date of October 1, due to which there may be less voting, so this date should be changed.
Mohan Lal Badoli wrote a letter to the commission saying that there are holidays before and after the polling day on October 1. Due to these holidays, people may go out for a walk. This may affect the voting percentage. On this basis, he had requested the Election Commission and the Chief Electoral Officer of Haryana to change the polling date.
Many holidays before and after October 1
In his letter, he mentioned that 28th is Saturday and 29th is Sunday, 30th is Monday i.e. working day in between and voting will be held on 1st October, Tuesday. While 2nd October is a holiday on account of Gandhi Jayanti, 3rd October is a holiday on account of Agrasen Jayanti. In such a situation, due to the 6-day long weekend, people can go on holidays. After the Lok Sabha elections, the Election Commission had said that we have learnt a lesson from these elections that elections should not be held in extreme heat and voting should not be held on weekends.
