West Bengal witnessed poll violence again as clashes took place between TMC and BJP workers in the Tamluk constituency ahead of the sixth phase of voting.
At least one BJP worker and one TMC worker have been injured in two separate incidences in Tamluk’s Moyna. On the night of Friday, another TMC worker, identified as Sheikh Moibul died in Tamluk’s Mahishadal as the party alleged BJP hand.
Moibul was taken to Basulia rural hospital in Mahishadal primarily and later he was referred to Tamluk District Hospital, where the TMC leader died last night.
Denying the allegations, the BJP has claimed that the 42-year-old worker died as a result of internal clashes within the TMC camp.
Meanwhile, Trinamool has alleged that 40 to 50 miscreants wearing black clothes on their faces attacked party offices in Moyna’s Bakcha.
A Trinamool activist, identified as Anant Bijli, was injured after he was hit by an iron rod. He was first taken to Moyna Primary Health Center and then to Tamluk District Hospital. Central forces have been rushed to the area to prevent further clashes.
Tamluk, the bastion of Adhikaris, is witnessing a heated battle between two first-timers from BJP and Trinamool Congress.
Meanwhile, incidents of violence were reported as seven Parliamentary constituencies went to polls in West Bengal in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha elections today.
An incident of clash was reported from the Barrackpore Lok Sabha seat where BJP candidate Arjun Singh was heckled by TMC workers.
The BJP nominee who switched from TMC ahead of polls over denial of ticket, alleged that the TMC workers are not allowing people come out of their houses to cast votes for the fifth phase of Lok Sabha election.
