Key battles to watch when all poll-bound states see voting on April 6

EC imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 in all Bengal constituencies going to polls; Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry will have polling in single phase for all the assembly seats on April 6

A three-cornered battle is on the cards in 31 assembly seats that are set to go to polls on Tuesday in the third phase of Bengal elections, with the BJP seeking to breach TMC fortresses, and Left Front-ISF-Congress alliance hoping to make a mark in areas, where identity politics has gained ground.

More than 7.85 million voters are eligible to exercise their franchise and decide the fate of 205 candidates -- prominent among them being BJP leader Swapan Dasgupta, TMC minister Ashima Patra and CPI(M) leader Kanti Ganguly -- in three districts -- Howrah, Hooghly and South 24 Parganas.
