Chhattisgarh: Despite Maoist violence, 67% turnout
Maoist-affected districts of Chhattisgarh voted today on the first day of two-phase polling which saw a turnout of 67% despite incidents of violence in which a jawan was killed and a Congress candidate injured. This was the first of state polls seen as a semi-final before next year's national election and the first major test for BJP's Narendra Modi, who is running for Prime Minister.
