In a significant escalation of political tensions in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced her intention to file a legal case against Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his threatening remarks aimed at Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers. Speaking at a rally in Hooghly, Banerjee criticized Shah's warning to 'hang upside down' those causing trouble during the elections, deeming such language unacceptable for a Home Minister. This incident follows Shah's comments made during a rally in Arambagh, where he threatened strict action against alleged TMC goons if disturbances occurred during the polling. The first phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections saw a record voter turnout of 91.78%, highlighting the high stakes of the electoral process. The second phase of voting is scheduled for April 29, with results to be counted on May 4.
