Trinamool Leader Threatens Violence Over Voter List Revision
A leader from the Trinamool Congress party in West Bengal threatened to use violence if the names of valid voters are removed from the electoral rolls during a revision process.
The opposition BJP party criticized this threat, saying it's an attempt to intimidate them.
This isn't the first time TMC leaders have made such threats about the voter list revision.
