"I won't allow them (TMC) to bully the voters here. They are doing so with the help of the police. 90 per cent of people in the area want elections in peace but those three-four per cent of people are trying to disturb the peace here. You (TMC) can't bully the voters here," said Tiwari.
Municipal corporations of Siliguri, Bidhannagar, Chandannagar, and Asansol went to polls on Saturday with COVID-19 protocols in place.
Voting has started at 7 am and will continue till 5 pm. The counting will be held on February 14.
The civic polls were earlier slated to be held on January 22, 2022. However, the High Court has postponed the elections for 4-6 weeks, citing that the third wave of COVID-19 has hit the state and that the life of the residents of the state will be put to threat if the elections are held. (ANI)
