A large contingent of police and central force personnel were rushed to the spot.The by-polls in Bhatpara Assembly constituency in North 24 Parganas district was marred by severe violence and bombing amid clashes between the workers of the BJP and the Trinamool. The police had to resort to lathi charge and the Rapid Action Force (RAF) had to be deployed in the area to control the situation.In Basirhat constituency's Minakha, BJP supporters created a road blockade accusing Trinamool activists of threatening them and impeding them from going to the polling booths. However, the blockade was withdrawn after central forces reached the spot and escorted the voters to the polling stations.The CPI-M's candidate from North Kolkata, Kaninika Bose (Ghosh), staged a protest demonstration in Belgachia, alleging that her party's polling agents were beaten up and not allowed to sit inside the booths in the area.In Jadavpur constituency's Baruipur area, Trinamool Congress booth President Azizur Rahman allegedly guided many voters to cast their votes for the state's ruling party.

The singer-turned-political immediately left the spot.In the initial hours, polling was halted in a number of booths due to faulty Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).Polling at three booths in Dum Dum's Nagerbazar area and one in South City College under the Kolkata South seat was delayed by more than an hour, while voting did not begin until 9.30 a.m. at a booth in Sonarpur in the Javadpur Lok Sabha constituency.Cases of EVM failures were also reported from several booths in Diamond Harbour, Joynagar, Barasat, Jadavpur, Dum Dum and both the constituencies of Kolkata.Stakes are high at a number of parliamentary constituencies as several political heavyweights such as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew and Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee (Diamond Harbour), Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's grand nephew Chandra Kumar Bose (Kolkata South), BJP National Secretary Rahul Sinha (Kolkata North), former Kolkata Mayor Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya (Jadavpur) and veteran Trinamool Congress MPs Sougata Roy (Dum Dum) and Sudip Bandyopadhyay (Kolkata North) are in the fray in the final phase of Lok Sabha elections.
