Violence erupts at Bengal Congress headquarters over candidate selection, party worker injured

KOLKATA: Violence broke out at the West Bengal Pradesh Congress headquarters here on Wednesday during protests over candidate selection for the Assembly elections, leaving at least one party worker injured, police said. It all started after agitated party workers staged a demonstration demanding the cancellation of "outsider" candidates, which soon escalated into clashes between rival factions. Their main grievance centred around the nomination of Rohan Mitra, son of former party president Somen Mitra, from Ballygunge Assembly constituency. The protestors claimed that Zayed Hossain had earlier been assured the ticket for the seat, but was later denied. The agitating workers also alleged that the state Congress leadership had "sold tickets" for the Assembly elections, even as posters carrying the charge were put up at the party headquarters. Eyewitnesses said heated arguments turned into scuffles, with workers engaging in physical fights in the presence of police personnel.
