"When I went to villages, women asked me with folded hands whether they would be able to cast their vote or not. It is TMC's habit to threaten people who want to vote. Polling agents, including the presiding officer, are not being allowed to enter the booth. I hope the situation improves and polling will take place smoothly," Ghosh said.
