New experience brought happiness: BSF Jawan Kitaab Singh
Mangaluru: The Election Commission has brought various forces from outside the state besides the state police to conduct peaceful voting in the DK district. Among them are jawans of BSF (Border Security Force), working in the district.
Of these, three BSF personnel are on duty at the polling booth at a government high School in Bantwal Taluk.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday morning, BSF jawan Kitaab Singh, who is a native of Haryana and currently serving in New Delhi, said "protecting border is not the only service of the country. Rather, working on election duty is also a service to the country. There is a much difference between the environment of Delhi and Mangaluru. But we are not upset by this. Here people are good. They are co-operating in every possible way they can. District officials have also provided us all the facilities."
For the first time, I am doing election duty, and it has given me a new experience," Singh added.

RJD surprise element in J’khand polls, party candidates leading in 5 of 6 assembly seats
Ranchi(PTI): The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has emerged as a surprise element in the Jharkhand assembly elections with its candidates leading in five of the six seats where the party is contesting, according to trends available on the Election Commission's website on Saturday.
RJD candidates in five assembly seats were leading over sitting BJP legislators.
In 2019, RJD had secured only the Chatra seat where its nominee Satyanand Bhokta won.
In Deoghar, RJD’s Suresh Paswan was leading by 19,581 votes over his nearest rival and BJP's sitting MLA Narayan Das after the third round of counting.
RJD’s Sanjay Prasad Yadav was ahead by 19,867 votes in Godda over BJP MLA Amit Kumar Mandal after the sixth round of counting.
In Koderma, RJD nominee Subhash Prasad Yadav, who was out on bail, was leading by a margin of 3,471 votes over BJP’s sitting legislator Neera Yadav.
Subhas Prasad Yadav, considered to be one of the close aides of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, was recently granted bail by the Supreme Court in a money laundering case.
Party’s Naresh Prasad Singh was leading by 5,159 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP’s Bishrampur MLA Ramchandra Chandravanshi.
RJD's Sanjay Kumar Singh Yadav was also leading from Hussainabad by 8,213 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP MLA Kamlesh Kumar Singh.
Party’s candidate Rashmi Prakash, however, was trailing from Chatra by 3,776 votes.
Bhokta did not contest the elections this time, and his daughter-in-law Prakash was given a ticket.
