As West Bengal gears up for the pivotal bypolls across six assembly constituencies scheduled for November 13, the campaign phase concluded amid intense controversies and accusations.
The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) has been at the forefront, alleging bias and the misuse of central forces by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), casting a shadow over the election's credibility.
Despite TMC's criticisms, the Election Commission maintained swift response times, discrediting the accusations of delay and issuing show-cause notices to BJP figures over incendiary comments. This charged pre-election environment raises questions about potential implications on voting behavior and future political scenarios.
