Addressing in a press conference, CPI-M State General Secretary Gautam Das said that since the day of re-poll announcement, the opposition voters were threatened not to cast votes.

He also said, many of the polling agents of CPI-M could not come to the booth due to massive prevention by BJP hooligans.

Voting percentage was down at 73% whereas BJP MP candidate Pratima Bhowmik blamed Central Forces for less voting percentage.
