As the polling in 44 constituencies for the fourth phase of West Bengal Assembly Elections commenced on Saturday morning, BJP candidates and actresses Payel Sarkar and Locket Chatterjee appealed to the voters to go out and vote in good numbers. 

Payel Sarkar, who is the BJP candidate from Behala East said, "57% of voters in my constituency are women and I am banking on them... I appeal to people to come to polling stations and cast votes. Security forces are deployed. I think everything will go very peacefully today."

Locket Chatterjee, who is a BJP candidate from Chunchura, said, "I appeal to everyone to vote. Each vote is important for the betterment of India and to make Bengal 'Sonar Bangla', the way TMC has destroyed Bengal for 10 years, people need to vote against it."
