A violent clash occurred between TMC and BJP supporters during an election campaign in West Bengal, resulting in multiple injuries and accusations from both parties.
In a troubling incident during election campaigning in the Shyaldanga More area of Burdwan city, West Bengal, clashes erupted between supporters of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Many activists from both parties sustained injuries as they accused each other of initiating the violence. The BJP alleged that TMC leader Shyamal Roy and his followers attacked them during a home-contact program, while the TMC accused BJP workers of forcibly placing posters on their walls and resorting to violence when confronted.
The local police were summoned to manage the situation and have been closely monitoring the ongoing tensions in the area. As the conflict escalated, both political sides lodged grievances against one another with claims of assaults and organized attacks. The BJP specifically highlighted that their workers were targeted when they were isolated and unguarded, leading to serious injuries.
This incident underscores the fraught political atmosphere in West Bengal as parties ramp up their campaign efforts ahead of the elections. With both TMC and BJP accusing each other of violence and misconduct, the safety of campaign workers and the integrity of the electoral process come into question, raising concerns among local citizens and officials about potential conflicts as elections approach.
