On the final day of campaigning for the assembly elections, Trinamool Congress MP Mitali Bag faced a violent incident in Hooghly district, West Bengal. While streaming live on Facebook, Bag's SUV was surrounded by a large crowd that began to strike the vehicle, causing visible damage to the windshield. Bag alleged that lathi-wielding supporters of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) blocked her convoy and threw stones, injuring her and shattering the car's windows. She criticized the BJP for its treatment of women in politics, contrasting it with their claims of supporting women's safety. In response, BJP spokesperson Debjit Sarkar dismissed the allegations, suggesting that the incident was orchestrated by the Trinamool Congress. Former BJP Arambagh unit president Biman Ghosh claimed that Trinamool leaders led an armed attack on BJP campaigners, resulting in injuries. The Chief Electoral Officer's office is reviewing the situation, including Bag's live stream, and has requested CCTV footage of the incident. Central forces are present in the area to maintain order.
