some localities. However, Babul is unhurt.

TMC convener Subal Bhowmik alleged that the time and place was allotted for them to hold
election meeting. At the eleventh hour, police cancelled it saying BJP has the rally same time at
same venue.
Another TMC rally at Indranagar was attacked by BJP goons where Babul Supriya, Kunal Ghosh
and other senior leaders were in the stage. Police failed to control the miscreants and compelled
TMC to wind up the meeting and escorted them back, Bhowmik alleged.
