This angst has emerged after the Election Commission barred the entry of political leaders in Cooch Behar for the next 72 hours– following the onslaughts that were made in the district on the day of the fourth phase of the election, on Saturday. Four people were killed in a firing and TMC has claimed that those people were the supporters of it.

Well, the TMC has also convicted the BJP of the violence. Though, the PTI quoting the police sources has mentioned that it was the CISF who opened fire during the clash which took place.

“In Cooch Behar district comprising of 9 AC’s where voting shall be over by today, no political leader from any national, state, or other parties should be allowed to enter the geographical boundaries of the district for the next 72 hours. This comes into force with immediate effect”, said the poll panel in its order, as per the reports of ANI.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also commiserated over the incident.
