Summary:
“In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections the polling percentage was 66.41%,” he added. When Naxal-affected Gadchiroli-Chimur Lok Sabha constituency goes to polls next month, Binagunda is likely to see for the first time EVMs and poll officials arrive by road. During the 2009 Lok Sabha polls, Maoists had opened fire at a helicopter in Binagunda, a week after 17 cops were killed in a nearby village, Laheri. The collector said his administration had carried out voter awareness drive in the village and is expecting positive results. The village now has 276 voters (147 male and 129 female), an increase of 14 over the last general elections..
