KOLKATA: Clashes, attacks and recovery of arms and ammunition on Sunday marked West Bengal’s run-up to the fifth phase of polls scheduled for Saturday (April 17).
Most clashes were reported between Trinamool Congress and main opposition party BJP. The trend was broken in Malda, a traditional Congress turf, where a clash broke out between Congress and Trinamool supporters. Congress veteran Abu Hasem Khan Choudhury (Dalu), brother of late Gani Khan Choudhury, was attacked by “Trinamool goons” on the way back from a political meeting at Fulbaria in Manikchak assembly constituency.
