Priyanka Tibrewal, who is up against Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the September 30 bypoll, said she would approach Election Commission
BJP candidate for Bhabanipur Assembly bypoll Priyanka Tibrewal entered into an altercation with police personnel today, after she was allegedly stopped from door-to-door campaigning.
Ms Tibrewal, who is up against Trinamool supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the September 30 bypoll, said she would approach the Election Commission against the "police action".
A police officer stationed in the area said she was asked not to be accompanied by a large group of people in view of the COVID-19 situation, but "she kept on arguing with the personnel".
Ms Tibrewal, however, alleged that she was not allowed to undertake campaigning in certain pockets of the area, even in small groups, by policemen and Trinamool supporters.
