West Bengal polls: Media persons, volunteers allegedly pushed out from polling booth premises in Hooghly

As West Bengal went to the third phase of polls on April 6, media persons and volunteers alleged that they were pushed out by security personnel from the premises of a polling booth in Tarakeswar, Hooghly. “By and large if you go inside, voting is going on peacefully. There were some jurisdictional turf issues involved here, I think most of the misunderstanding, not to mention the fact that at 1 pm in the afternoon, things can get a bit hot for people. The idea is to get as many as voters possible. We can deal with it later,” said BJP’s Swapan Das Gupta.
