Several people were injured in a clash between BJP and Congress supporters in Tripura's Majlishpur. The clash took place just half an hour after the Election Commission announced the dates for the assembly election in the state.
Congress leader Dr Ajay Kumar was among those who were injured in the clash which took place at Ranirbazar Mohanpur in Tripura's Majlishpur constituency.
Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman claims that several of the injured party workers are still at the Ranirbazar police station. He said that they haven't been moved to the hospital due to the presence of a large number of BJP workers in the area.
He also alleged that a minister was leading the attack on the opposition and demanded that the election commission separately conduct polls in five constituencies, including the Majlishpur constituency where the incident took place today.
The Tripura Assembly polls will be held on February 16. The counting of votes will be taken up on March 2.
