As investment vanishes in West Bengal, political workers resort to violence for spoils

The image portrayed is one of West Bengal as a hotbed of violence. In the widespread violence during, before and after the panchayat elections held in May, more than 24 political workers died and hundreds were injured.

Of the total seats in gram panchayat, Panchayat Samiti and Zila Parishad, about 34 per cent remained uncontested because armed Trinamool Congress (TMC) activists allegedly restricted opposition candidates from filing their nomination papers. After the poll, TMC factions reportedly fought among themselves for control of the panchayat posts.
