West Bengal Polls See 'Bawaal': 90% Turnout Amid Clashes, Bombs, Political War

Political tensions between Trinamool Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party escalated, with leaders trading sharp accusations. Even as campaigning for Phase 2 gathered pace, the key question remains whether voters are backing "poriborton" (change) or driven by "badla" (revenge).
