Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Puducherry, West Bengal Assembly Election Dates Live Announcements: The Election Commission headed by Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Aror is all set to announce the poll schedule for upcoming state assembly elections at 4.30 pm today. The elections are due for West Bengal, Assam, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The terms of legislative assemblies of four states \u2014 Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala and West Bengal \u2014 are coming to an end in May and June. In Puducherry, President\u2019s Rule has been imposed and the assembly kept under suspended animation after the V Narayanasamy-led\u00a0Congress\u00a0government resigned earlier this week ahead of a vote of confidence. The political parties have already been holding rallies in these states. The\u00a0BJP\u00a0and Congress have been campaigning in these states with senior leaders like\u00a0Amit Shah,\u00a0Narendra Modi, JP Nadda and\u00a0Rahul Gandhi\u00a0holding political rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
