West Bengal Assembly polls: Political clashes trigger concern with just hours to go for polling
TMC supporters clashed with ISF supporters in Bhangar and Nandigram, leading to security concerns over the upcoming elections. Police resorted to baton charges to quell the violence, while a crude bomb was recovered in Cooch Behar. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticized the Election Commission's pre-emptive list of alleged miscreants, claiming it unfairly targets TMC workers. Kalyan Banerjee, a TMC MP, filed a petition in the Calcutta High Court against potential arrests of over 800 TMC workers. The Central Armed Police Forces have been deployed across West Bengal to ensure free and fair elections, but the TMC has accused the BJP and the Election Commission of a "military-style takeover."
