Seth s name evidently evokes adverse feelings in both TMC and BJP.
The agrarian backwaters of Nandigram in East Midnapore district has become the centre of the high octane battle for West Bengal this time but its once uncrowned king is missing from action. Laxman Chandra Seth, believed by the vast population of the area to have been the villain of the historic anti- farmland acquisition movement in 2007, is away from the cacophony of the high decibel poll campaign.

Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers have vandalised BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari s office (Sahayak Kendra) in the Nandigram area on Saturday night, the BJP has alleged.
The BJP has demanded the arrest of persons behind the incident. We protest against an incident caused by TMC Harmad cadres at Nandigram.
