During polling on Thursday in West Bengal’s Murshidabad, a scuffle broke out between Trinamool Congress workers and Aam Janata Unnayan Party founder Humayun Kabir in Murshidabad district, ANI reported. Trinamool Congress members reportedly shouted slogans of “go back” and accused Kabir of being a BJP agent.
The Aam Janata Unnayan Party founder was visiting the area where a crude bomb was allegedly hurled a day earlier, injuring a woman and triggering panic ahead of voting.
The Election Commission has sought a report from the district magistrate and district election officer on the scuffle, ANI reported.
The Trinamool Congress on Thursday alleged that three women were assaulted by Central Reserve Police Force personnel at a polling booth in the Lakhipur ward of Uttar Dinajpur district, The Hindu reported. One of the women suffered a head injury, the newspaper quoted an unidentified party leader as saying.
The BJP’s candidate from Asansol South Agnimitra Paul alleged on Thursday that unidentified persons “broke the glass of the car with a big stone”. She claimed that the attackers were affiliated to the Trinamool Congress, ANI reported.
The polls are taking place against the backdrop of the Election Commission having carried out a special intensive revision of the electoral rolls in 12 states and Union Territories, including Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
Nearly 91 lakh voters have been removed from West Bengal’s voter lists as part of the exercise. The deletions represent nearly 11.9% of the state’s electorate of 7.6 crore that existed before the revision process began.
About 27 lakh appeals filed in tribunals against exclusion from the voter lists are mostly undecided.
All decisions made by the tribunals on the addition and deletion of voters by April 21 for the first phase and April 27 for the second must be reflected in the final voter lists, the Supreme Court has told the Election Commission.
Ahead of the first phase, only 138 of the 27 lakh appeals had been decided on by the tribunals.
In Tamil Nadu, more than 74 lakh names were removed from the final voter list.
A record 2.4 lakh Central Armed Police Forces have been deployed in West Bengal for the first phase.
