During the sixth phase of Lok Sabha elections, BJP candidate Pranat Tudu was allegedly attacked by a group of people in Monglapota while visiting booth number 200. Tudu explained that he went to the area because he had heard reports that BJP voters were being prevented from casting their votes.
"We got information yesterday that BJP voters in Monglapota are not being allowed to vote. Due to this, we came to this area to check what was the problem. Here around 200 people attacked us with lathis, stones, and some weapons. We could have been murdered if Central forces would not have been there?We did not get any protection from the local police?Didi doesn't want to impose CAA and make the country into Pakistan," said Pranat Tudu.
The attack occurred as Tudu was traveling to Garbeta after receiving complaints that BJP agents were being blocked from entering some polling booths.
"All of a sudden, TMC goons who had blocked the roads started hurling bricks at my car. When my security personnel tried to intervene, they were injured. Two CISF jawans accompanying me received head injuries and had to be hospitalized," Tudu reported.
