The first phase of voting for the 2024 Lok Sabha election was marred by violence and allegations of voter suppression as clashes erupted between supporters of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Cooch Behar. Reports emerged of stone pelting and one person injured. TMC accused BJP of orchestrating the violence, alleging inaction by the Election Commission. Meanwhile, polling proceeded across 21 states and 102 constituencies. The 2024 general elections, spanning seven phases, will conclude on June 1, with vote counting and result declaration slated for June 4.
