Tensions erupted at booths 232 and 245 shortly after the polls began. BJP candidate Shivaji Singh Roy alleged that BJP polling agents were prevented and intimidated from sitting in booth No. 232 2 Bong 235 of Ramakrishna Vidyalaya (Primary) of Belgachhia Assembly constituency in Kashipur. It is also alleged that grassroots activists snatched documents from BJP polling agents. The BJP candidate went to the booth and complained directly to the presiding officer.
