In a heated political atmosphere in West Bengal, Abhishek Banerjee (General Secretary of the Trinamool Congress) has accused central forces of acting as a 'BJP private army' during the Assembly elections. He claimed that the forces' aggressive actions led to the death of an elderly voter in Udaynarayanpur, who collapsed after being manhandled while trying to vote with his son. Banerjee condemned the central forces, stating they have been terrorizing citizens and invoked the memory of the 2021 Sitalkuchi incident, where violence led to multiple deaths. He warned that those responsible for any violence would face legal consequences. Amidst these allegations, protests erupted as TMC supporters accused central forces of intimidating their party workers, particularly during a search operation in the Falta Assembly constituency. Despite the tensions, West Bengal's Chief Electoral Officer assured voters of a secure environment, with a remarkable 90% voter turnout reported by the end of polling.
