Amid violence during the second phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee arrived at a polling booth in Nandigram, as she gears up to face her protege turned rival Suvendu Adhikari in a high-stakes battle.

Banerjee’s arrival came amid allegations of booth capturing by the Bharatiya Janata Party. However, Trinamool Congress (TMC) agents alleged that they are not being allowed to enter the polling booths in Nandigram.

Intense sloganeering could be heard as Banerjee sat inside the booth, with loud iterations of BJP’s ‘Jai Shree Ram’.

Reacting to the slogans against her, Banerjee stated that, “None of the people are speaking in the Bengali language. All of them are outsiders. They are goons sent from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and they are being protected by Central forces.”

Banerjee further informed that 63 complaints regarding booth capturing have been sent to the Election Commission. She also personally held a discussion with State Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar over a call regarding the issue.

As the situation turned chaotic outside the booth, the Chief Minister seemed visibly angry.
