“In Maheshtala, the Opposition supporters destroyed the EVM in a booth and at four other booths they forced our polling agents to leave. We have demanded repoll in booths 4, 4A, 5, 5A of Maheshtala,” he said. He added that in ward number 22 of Kutli, Opposition supporters hurled crude bombs to scare away the voters.

“In Dum Dum and South Dum Dum, the Congress-Trinamool brought in goons from areas like Sealdah and Bowbazar. After voting was over, they chased away our people with pistols. The police intervened and several of them were arrested. At another place, Trinamool goons came in Tata Sumo and Qualis and attacked our supporters,” Chakraborty said.

“The Opposition had planned in advance to unleash violence during the polls. They don’t want voters to exercise their franchise,” he added.
