In what political analysts are calling a historic day for Indian democracy, Kerala, Assam, and Puducherry recorded unprecedented voter turnout during Thursday's assembly elections. Kerala saw more than 78% turnout, while Assam registered over 85%, according to the Election Commission.
In Kerala, the CPI (M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) continue their fierce competition. Meanwhile, Assam's elections are a face-off between the ruling BJP, aiming for a third consecutive term, and the Congress, eyeing a comeback.
Along with the elections, ongoing concerns like the West Asia conflict-induced LPG crisis hovered over campaigns. Despite minor skirmishes and arrests in Assam, the voting was largely peaceful across these regions.
