Lok Sabha polls phase 2: Low turnout at Gautam Buddha Nagar, Ghaziabad as urban voters skip polling process

Hindustan Times  

Noida/Ghaziabad: Urban voters in the Gautam Buddha Nagar and Ghaziabad parliamentary constituencies largely stayed away from the polling booths, with the two seats headed for their lowest turnout in the past three general elections. Experts said the low turnout was a matter of concern, adding that the voters who did not come out to vote may hurt the prospects of BJP, Congress and even the BSP, especially if these set of voters are core voters of any party. “There are two reasons for low polling in 2024 — one is the Rajput community’s anger towards the ruling dispensation over their alleged lack of representation in ticket distribution, and a number of issues in urbans areas related to infrastructure that have remained unresolved over the last ten years,” said political analyst Atul Thakur. The turnout may show low percentage, but in terms of number of voters as compared to previous election, the number of voters coming out to vote has increased,” said BJP candidate Garg.
