The violence in West Bengal seems to be unrelenting with reports of fresh clashes amid repolling for the single-phase panchayat polls in several areas on Monday. At least 19 have been killed during the election, and 22 in the run-up to it, despite the deployment of nearly 60,000 central security personnel after the high court’s nudge.
Front pages of newspapers prominently featured reports about the violence on Monday, with editorials pointing to the responsibility of the Trinamool Congress state government as well as the state election commission.
