BJP candidate faces protest as women show broom during campaign in pandaveshwar

In the politically sensitive region of Pandaveshwar, BJP candidate Jitendra Tiwari faced public protest during his campaign activity on Sunday. The incident took place in the Jagannathpur area under Durgapur and drew immediate attention as visuals of the protest circulated widely on social platforms.

According to accounts from the area, a group of local women demonstrated by showing brooms to the campaigning candidate while he was participating in a procession. The campaign activity, which included drum beats and party mobilisation, was briefly interrupted by the protest. Despite the tense moment, the candidate reportedly responded calmly and continued moving forward. Political reactions soon followed, with differing claims emerging from opposing sides. One side alleged that the protest was linked to concerns over voter list exclusions, while the other side rejected the claim and attributed the demonstration to political influence and mobilisation. The incident has further intensified the ongoing political narrative around voter rights and local grievances.

In a separate development on the same day, tension was also reported during campaign activities in the Saha Para area under Bangaon. Clashes broke out between party workers during rival campaign movements, with both sides accusing each other of obstruction and aggression. Police and security personnel were present at both locations to manage the situation and prevent escalation.
