"poll-violence"

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee alleged assault by Central Reserve Police Force and accused Bharatiya Janata Party of poll rigging as tensions, violence claims, and heavy security marked second-phase voting across 142 constituencies in Kolkata and districts

Kolkata voting saw BJP leaders including Mithun Chakraborty express hopes of 90 percent turnout, while candidates raised EVM concerns, violence allegations, and appeals for participation. Abhaya’s mother entered polls seeking justice as voting covered 142 constituencies across six districts statewide

The Home Ministry had earlier asked the state government to submit a report but has not yet received it, the officials said.

The Chief Minister had said that she will hold a protest rally in Cooch Behar on Sunday against the firing incident and visit the homes of the deceased.
