Veteran MPs Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and S.S. Ahluwalia on Saturday faced protests during the election campaign in their respective constituencies in West Bengal.
“Go back” slogans were raised at Baharampur from where five-time MP and West Bengal Congress president Mr. Chowdhury is seeking re-election. He said a group of “drunken” youths came in front of his vehicle while returning home after campaigning in the afternoon.
“They were yelling: Go back, go back!! I stopped and asked them their complaints. Initially, only one person was there, but then several others joined him. I realised that it was organised by the Trinamool Congress. But they would not be able to stop me in this way,” Mr. Chowdhury said.
