Voting for the second and final phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections is currently underway, and reports indicate a high-stakes, volatile environment. This phase is particularly critical as it features the high-profile battle for the Bhabanipur seat between Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee and BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari. Since early morning, reports of sporadic violence have emerged from several constituencies, leading to sharp exchanges between political leaders. Mamata Banerjee has publicly criticized the deployment and conduct of central forces, while TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee took a jab at the Union government’s heavy security presence. Despite the tension, voter turnout remains high across the 142 constituencies involved in this final leg. The results of this fierce political contest, which will determine the state’s leadership for the next five years, are scheduled to be announced on May 4. Security has been tightened further in sensitive zones to prevent any further escalation of clashes between rival party workers as the polling day progresses.
