NDTV Captures Stone Attack on Dilip Ghosh’s Convoy in Hot Bengal Seat During 2024 Lok Sabha Election admin, May 13, 2024 Poll officials have claimed that voting has been peaceful, but different political parties have filed about 1,088 complaints of alleged EVM malfunction and agents stopped from entering booths. Clashes between workers of the ruling Trinamool Congress and the BJP have been reported in some areas of the Bardhaman-Durgapur Lok Sabha constituency. In Kalna Gate, BJP candidate Dilip Ghosh faced a protest when he was going to a poll booth after receiving some complaints. Trinamool supporters blocked his way and staged a protest, raising ‘go back’ slogans. Stones were also thrown at the BJP leader’s convoy, and some cars were damaged. Visuals captured by NDTV showed paramilitary personnel trying to keep the crowd under control. A security personnel was injured, and a stone hit the NDTV cameraperson on his leg. The unruly scenes were a far cry from a show of bonhomie between Mr Ghosh and his main opponent, Trinamool’s Kirti Azad, earlier in the day. The two leaders hugged each other during a visit to a poll booth, a rare sight in an election characterized by sharp barbs exchanged by leaders of the ruling Trinamool and the BJP, its main challenger. Earlier in the day, Mr Ghosh mentioned that “goons of TMC” were preventing polling agents from entering booths and expressed hope for a smooth voting process. Trinamool, on the other hand, accused Mr Ghosh of trying to vitiate the atmosphere “because he has sensed defeat”. Clashes and incidents were also reported in Birbhum and Krishnanagar constituencies, where BJP workers clashed with Trinamool supporters. In the constituency’s Tehatta area, a CPM worker was injured in a scuffle with Trinamool supporters over being present in a polling booth. In some areas of Birbhum, Trinamool workers held protests, accusing central forces of intimidating voters. Bardhaman-Durgapur Lok Sabha constituency
