When Babul Supriyo went to the polling booth for casting his vote the TMC workers, allegedly heckled him. The ruling party workers have however justified this act with the fact that Babul had entered the polling booth area with a huge number people around him. Thus he was stopped by the Trinamool Congress workers before he could enter the premises.
However before this Locket Chatterjee also was also threatened by the same party when she questioned the role of a presiding officer when the open rigging was being done right in front of his eyes and he did nothing to stop it.

On the other hand the Trinamool Congress leaders are questioning their authority and also that they are breaking the law.
Violence is prevailing all over West Bengal State Assembly Election polling booths. Right since the morning even the voters besides the polling agents and candidates are facing attacks and threats.
