Aam Janata Unnayan Party chief Humayun Kabir on Thursday alleged that the ruling All India Trinamool Congress bribed several of his party candidates to keep them out of the electoral contest.
Kabir, who cast his vote during the early hours of polling, later faced protests when he visited a polling booth in Shibnagar village in Murshidabad’s Naoda constituency. Supporters linked to the ruling party reportedly raised “go back” slogans and staged a demonstration around his visit.
According to reports, protesters led by local TMC leaders surrounded Kabir’s vehicle and accused him of acting as a “BJP agent,” triggering tension in the area near the polling station.
The allegations and protests have added a fresh layer of political controversy to polling day in Naoda, with accusations and counterclaims intensifying the contest.
