West Bengal

The Election Commission has sought a report from the administration regarding the alleged attack on BJP candidate Arjun Singh by TMC workers.

PM Modi has stated that Mamata Banerjee is playing politics over Cyclone Fani. The West Bengal CM has refused to talk on the phone or hold a review meeting.

While violence and rigging occurred sporadically as expected, the BJP candidate from Barrackpore, Arjun Singh, was attacked by goons associated with Trinamool Congress.

As PM Modi meets Naveen Patnaik today, reports state that the West Bengal government have declined PMO's request for a review meeting on Cyclone Fani stating that the state officials are busy in election duty. Earlier, Mamata Banerjee had avoided PM's phone call over the same.

Regardless of the results of the elections, the 2019 General Elections is turning out to be a dark phase in the history of Bengal politics.

Arjun Singh was allegedly heckled after he intervened when BJP supporters said they were not allowed to vote

The West Bengal CM said that while Modi spoke to Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik over the phone, he did not bother calling her.

Following the protest by farmers in Singur, Ratan Tata shifted the NanoManufacturing plant from West Bengal's Singur to Gujarat's Sanand

Shekhar Gupta has this to say: "Fight fire with fire, venom with venom... Mamata in Bengal shows how offence is the best defence to stop the Modi-Shah cavalry..."

This election season has witnessed several incidents of violence under Mamata’s regime in the state.
