Among the state’s most volatile constituencies, these areas have seen repeated TMC-BJP clashes, often escalating into violent law-and-order incidents involving bombs and firearms.
Four persons were killed as CISF opened fire allegedly after coming under attack from locals near a booth in Sitalkuchi during the fourth phase of West Bengal elections on April 10.
The CBI has filed the charge sheet against Tahidul Mia, Haridas Barman, Madan Barman, Naba Kumar Barman, Shyamal Barman and Arabindo Barman in the court.
The BJP on Friday released an audiotape, in which CM Mamata Banerjee can be purportedly heard telling the TMC candidate from the Sitalkuchi constituency to hold protests for those killed in firing.
Claiming that such a conversation never took place, the TMC described the audio clip as ''bogus'' and wondered whether the Centre is tapping a chief ministers phone.
