Tensions rose during Phase 2 voting in West Bengal as Suvendu Adhikari faced off with Trinamool Congress supporters outside a booth in Bhabanipur. Supporters raised “Joy Bangla” slogans, while Adhikari responded with “Jai Shri Ram.” He also called the crowd “outsiders.” Security forces used mild force to disperse the gathering. Elsewhere, reports of clashes, EVM issues and vandalism came from several districts. A BJP agent was allegedly attacked in Nadia, while protests were reported in Howrah after a voting delay. Officials said polling remained largely peaceful despite scattered incidents. (PC: X)
