‘Lord Krishna tells me in my dreams I’ll form govt in UP’: Akhilesh
Officials of the West Bengal State Opinion Survey Group stated that elections in the four cities of West Bengal will be held on January 22 as scheduled. In the case of a surge in Covid-19 cases, road shows and gatherings will be restricted.
“The date of citizen elections will not change. The WBSEC (West Bengal State Electoral Commission) has issued some Covid-19 agreements. These are similar to those issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI) in April 2021, which included West Bengal at the time. Five states are holding parliamentary elections,” an official said.
The agreement prohibits road shows, bicycles and bicycle rallies. During the door-to-door campaign, the candidate can bring four other personnel and security guards.
Meetings are allowed in open spaces and can accommodate up to 500 people. Only 200 people are allowed to attend meetings organized in the conference hall. The election campaign will end 72 hours before the polling day. In December, WBSEC announced a timetable for voting in civil groups such as Asansol, Bidhannagar, Siliguri, and Chandannagar on January 22. The counting of votes will take place on January 25th.
Last week, the state’s Covid-19 cases and positive rates soared. More than 6,000 Covid-19 cases were reported on Monday. The positive rate is close to 20%, which means that one-fifth of the samples are found to be positive.
In April, when the daily number of Covid-19 cases surged after parliamentary elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala and Pondicherry, the Madras High Court criticized the ECI . In West Bengal, the post-election daily count reached a peak of over 20,000 cases per day in May 2021.
Sukanta Majumdar, the head of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said that because of the fear of Covid-19, they doubted the extent to which people would stand up and vote. “I don’t know why and how WBSEC conducts polls under so many restrictions. If people don’t come out to vote and the turnout rate drops, then I don’t think this will be considered a successful election.”
On Sunday, the government reintroduced stricter restrictions until January 15 by closing schools and universities, restricting labor across offices, and restricting flights from Delhi and Mumbai.
State Minister Sobhandeb Chatterjee said that if the guidelines are followed, then there is nothing to be afraid of. “The BJP only considers one thing, and that is criticism. But you will never see them take to the streets and actively participate in making people aware of Covid-19 norms.”

According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is quitting the Late Night programme.
According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is thinking about leaving his late-night show to devote more time to his son Billy’s continuous struggle with congenital heart problems.
This week, a number of people with knowledge of the situation disclosed that Kimmel intends to leave Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his contract expires in 2025 in order to spend more time with his wife Molly McNearney, who co-head writes the show.
Kimmel’s choice, according to Radar Online, is a result of Billy’s health issues, especially in the wake of Billy’s most recent third open-heart surgery. But now he’s a “healthy kid.”
The Late Night presenter shared the news on Instagram in late May, saying, “We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid.”
Sources close to Radar Online claim that the Kimmels are getting ready to step back from the spotlight. According to an informant, Jimmy and his spouse prioritise their family over notoriety. They know what to do financially, so they’re prepared to step back from the spotlight and concentrate on what matters most.
“Life is too short to waste time on a job that brings you no happiness.”
Kimmel’s spokesperson denied the findings.
Even though Kimmel’s publicist denied any talks regarding his possible resignation and called the claim “silly,” especially in light of his son’s recent surgery.
“Though they’ll likely stay busy producing and developing shows behind the scenes, their main focus will be spending precious time with their family,” an insider was quoted by Perez Hilton.
Billy’s congenital heart issue was initially made public by Kimmel in 2017, not long after Billy was born, along with the difficulties his family was facing. Billy was born with a heart condition, according to an echocardiography, a type of cardiac sonography that was performed, Kimmel disclosed on his show.
“Tetralogy of Fallot associated with pulmonary atresia.” In essence, there is a hole in the wall separating his left and right sides of the heart, and the pulmonary valve was totally obstructed.
Three days after his birth, Billy had his first successful open-heart surgery. A few months later, he had another one. Billy had his third operation last month at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. This was his most recent procedure.
