Violence mars last day of Bhabhanipur bypoll campaign

The Hindu  

The last day of campaigning for the crucial Bhabanipur by-elections on Monday was marred by violence, with BJP vice-president Dilip Ghosh being manhandled. The BJP leader said repeated requests for security appeared to have been ignored by the Election Commission of India and that the elections in Bhabanipur need to be postponed. Later in the day a delegation of BJP leaders visited the office of the CEO and demanded that the polls be held under prohibitory orders under Section 144 in the entire Bhabanipur constituency. This compromises the safety and security of people in Bhabanipur!” the TMC tweeted from its official handle sharing a video of the incident where Mr Ghosh’s security personnel were seen brandishing firearms.
