Different political par- ties like the Congress, the B.J.P., the Janta Dal,the C.P.I. and the C.P.M. put up their candidates for different seats in different constituencies. Some candidates did ot belong to any party and contested the elections as independents
3. Canvassing: Canvassing began two weeks before the election. The parties took out processions and organised meetings in supports of their candidates. The speakers in such meetings detailed their programmes of work if their party won in the elections. Big promises were made. Pamphlets and handbills were freely dis tributed and pasted on the walls. Candidates and their supporters went about in jeeps, tempos, trucks and three-wheelers fitted with loud speakers, shouting slo gans. They also went on foot from door to door canvassing for votes. The canvass ing gathered momentum as the election day approached nearer. But all canvassing had to be stopped twenty four hours before the actual time of voting
