The Election Commission has officially rescheduled the bypoll for the Palakkad constituency to November 20, allowing it to coincide with the vibrant Kalpathi Ratholsavam festival. This decision responds to requests from local stakeholders who emphasized the importance of the festival to the community.
Kalpathi Ratholsavam, renowned for its colorful celebrations and cultural significance, draws large crowds and plays a vital role in the lives of residents. By shifting the election date, the Election Commission aims to maximize voter participation while honoring local traditions.
Political parties are now recalibrating their campaign strategies to take advantage of the festive atmosphere, as candidates work to connect with voters during this significant time. With the new date, the bypoll is expected to attract increased interest and turnout, reflecting the festive spirit of Kalpathi.
