TMC workers block BJP polling agent in Kumarganj
Voting in Kumarganj on Thursday witnessed disturbances, with videos circulating of Trinamool Congress workers attempting to allegedly prevent a Bharatiya Janata Party polling agent from entering a booth.
The situation escalated when local BJP supporters arrived at the spot and intervened, leading to a brief confrontation between the two groups marked by heated arguments. The TMC workers subsequently moved away from the area.
The incident took place amid the ongoing West Bengal Assembly elections, which have seen reports of sporadic tensions and allegations of voter intimidation in several parts of the state. Security personnel were deployed to maintain order, and polling continued after the situation was brought under control.
