The editorial

Source: The Times of India · 15 Nov 2018

High voter turnout in phase I highlights yearning for normalcy.

The first round of polling for the Chhattisgarh assembly election threw up a welcome surprise. Of the 18 constituencies that went to polls, 10 exceeded or at least matched the previous high figures of 2013. The overall turnout percentage from this phase stood at 76.28% despite a poll boycott call by Maoists and violence in the run up to voting. The high turnout clearly exemplifies a yearning for normalcy even in the Maoist-affected areas of Bastar and Rajnandgaon. Ballots are clearly preferred to bullets here.
