Nisith Pramanik, Minister of State for Home Affairs of India said, “I strongly condemn the political murder of our polling agent in Cooch Behar. Words fall short to express the tyranny & reign of terror that TMC has unleashed in West Bengal. Dissenting voices are not just stifled but made silent forever.”

The Trinamool Congress alleged that three of its party workers were murdered and two were injured from gunshots in Domkol during the polling.


The party questioned the whereabouts of the central forces deployed for the election and accused them of failing to ensure the safety and security of the people.


The party claimed that incidents of violence occurred in various places, including firing at an AITC candidate’s husband in Narayanpur-1 Gram Panchayat in Nadia and crude bomb attacks on AITC workers in Hasina Sultana’s husband’s case.

The Trinamool Congress accused the BJP, CPI(M), and Congress of working together to harass party workers and spread violence.

The party alleged that despite the deployment of central forces, their party workers were attacked, wounded, and killed, citing examples such as a bomb attack in Manikchak, Malda, and assaults on their workers in various locations.


The party criticized the competence and preparedness of the central forces, as well as the claims made by the BJP, CPI(M), and Congress regarding their role in ensuring peaceful elections.

They highlighted incidents like the assault and death threats against their Panchayat candidate, Shyamali Sabar, and criticized the central forces for failing to protect her from such attacks.

Both the ruling Trinamool Congress and the Opposition parties have accused each other of booth-capturing and violence.

WB Youth Congress said, “TMC is creating chaos all over Bengal. TMC men attacking the Opposition.”

With India hailed as the biggest democracy, the violence was heavily criticized.
