He said, ‘Common people who were living outside the district for work are returning in droves. With their return, the election campaign has increased in the village. Candidates have also intensified their door-to-door campaign.’

Voters have started returning to their villages, whether to exercise their voting rights or to help the candidates of the party they believe in win.
