In a dramatic turn of events at Bhabanipur, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee cut short her rally speech, accusing the BJP of intentional disruption. Loud music from a nearby BJP meeting allegedly hindered her address.
Banerjee, visibly irked, declared that despite having necessary permissions, her rally faced interference. She accused the BJP of employing intimidation tactics to 'capture Bengal' and mentioned considering legal action against this 'undemocratic' behavior.
Tensions further flared as TMC supporters moved towards the BJP rally, forcing security personnel to intervene. Both parties filed complaints, accusing each other of model conduct violations as Bhabanipur prepared for the election's second phase.
