The BJP claims that at least five people were killed and several injured in several parts of the state amid widespread violence over the filing of nominations for the July 8 elections.

TMC’s allegation

At the same time, the statement of TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh also came out in this whole matter. He said, “The governor should behave impartially.
