In the ongoing Lok Sabha elections 2024, tensions have escalated in Balurghat, West Bengal, where BJP's state president and candidate Sukanta Majumdar is contesting against TMC's Biplab Mitra. Majumdar, who previously won the Balurghat seat in 2019 with 539,317 votes, reported incidents of booth jamming, voter intimidation, and an altercation involving TMC workers who surrounded him at a polling booth, preventing his movement and chanting 'Go back'. TMC, on the other hand, accused BJP of disrupting the voting process. Both parties have expressed confidence in winning the seat, with Majumdar aiming for a victory margin of over 100,000 votes, significantly higher than the 34,000 margin in the previous election. Reports of election violence have also surfaced.
