দিলীপ পাল রয়েই গেলেন, প্রতীক হেলিকপ্টার
Dilip Paul stays back in contest, assigned ‘helicopter’ symbol

ওয়েটুবরাক, ১৭ মার্চ: না, শেষদিনেও মনোনয়ন পত্র প্রত্যাহার করেননি দিলীপকুমার পাল৷

বিধানসভা নির্বাচনে নির্দল প্রার্থী হিসেবে প্রতিদ্বন্দ্বিতা করবেন তিনি৷ তাঁর জন্য নির্বাচন কমিশন হেলিকপ্টার প্রতীক বরাদ্দ করেছে৷ এ দিন শিলচর বিধানসভা আসনে দুইজন নির্দল প্রার্থী মনোনয়ন প্রত্যাহার করেছেন৷ তাঁরা হলেন জওহরলাল গোয়ালা ও রতন গোয়ালা৷ ফলে এ বার প্রতিদ্বন্দ্বিতায় রইলেন মোট ১৫জন৷

March 17: Wednesday was the last date of withdrawal of nomination forms by the contesting candidates. A total of 19 candidates submitted their nomination for the prestigious Silchar seat. On 15 March, during scrutiny, the nominations of 2 persons were cancelled, which took the total number of contesting candidates to 15. However, on 17 March, 2 independent candidates had withdrawn their nominations. With this, a total of 15 candidates are now in the big fight.

This has also given a great relief to the Election Department. This is because one ballot unit of EVM is capable to record votes for 16 candidates. Now with the withdrawal of 2 nominations, the numbers of contesting candidates were reduced to 15. NOTA will occupy the last or 16th position in the ballot unit. So now, Silchar constituency will not require a second ballot unit for the polls. The two independent candidates who had withdrawn their nominations are Jawaharla Goala and Ratan Goala.

There was a talk among the people of Silchar that Dilip Kumar Paul might withdraw his nomination on 17 March. However, that did not happen. So he is there very much in the game. Dilip Paul was assigned ‘helicopter’ symbol by the Returning Officer.
