TMC men influencing voters by standing near EVM, alleges BJP's Babul Supriyo

Asansol, Apr 29 (IBNS): Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Asansol candidate from West Bengal has alleged that the Trinamool Congress men are influencing voters by standing near the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) in Jamuria as the fourth phase of Lok Sabha polls is underway on Monday.

"Jamuria Assembly : Booth 171, 223, 224, 199, TMC standing near EVM and influencing voters" Supriyo tweeted.

Earlier, Supriyo's car was vandalised in the Asansol area.

Meanwhile, clashes between Trinamool workers and security personnel have been reported from polling booth number 199 in Asansol. 

Supriyo told media: "I will visit the booths from where reports of violence have emerged."

Voters in West Bengal’s Pandabesar under Asansol constituency have boycotted polling in two booths. They are demanding central forces in the booths.

Violence was reported in the previous three phases of the polling in West Bengal as well.

In Asansol, the contest is between Trinamool's Moon Moon Sen and BJP's Supriyo.

Altogether 580 companies of para-military forces are deployed in those Lok Sabha segments spreading in four South Bengal districts.

With the increased deployment of central forces in phases from first on Apr 11, the poll body this time is considering to take no chance after a voter - Tearul Sheikh lynched some 100 meters from a Bhogobangola polling booth in Murshidabad in the third phase.

Besides General Election observers and expenditure observers, the poll panel has for the first time deployed a special police observer.
