In North 24 Parganas, particularly in the Panihati constituency, tensions were reported during polling activities involving BJP candidate Ratna De Nag. She was visiting multiple polling booths within her constituency as part of routine monitoring, which is a common practice among candidates. However, supporters of the All India Trinamool Congress protested her visits, alleging that she was influencing voters. This led to slogans and opposition from TMC workers, though central security forces quickly intervened to control the situation and maintain order. The area remains under tight security, with central forces deployed across booths. Despite minor tensions and sporadic incidents, polling continues smoothly. The constituency, where TMC had a strong performance in 2021, is witnessing intensified political competition this time, making the outcome highly significant ahead of the results on May 4.
