Congress candidate Milan Pradhan on Thursday resumed campaigning for the Nandigram assembly by-election, a day after he was released from jail on interim bail by the Calcutta High Court. BJP candidate Hansirani Rath also campaigned during the day, as the contest moved into its final phase.

Pradhan used the campaign to focus on local issues and to attack his arrest in a two-decade-old case, which he described as politically motivated. The campaign for the bypoll will end on October 4, voting will be held on October 6, and the counting of votes will take place on October 9.
