Aam Janata Unnayan Party chief Humayun Kabir on Thursday (April 23, 2026) alleged the ruling Trinamool Congress bribed several of his party candidates to keep them out of the poll fray.

Mr. Kabir, who cast his vote during the early hours of polling, was met with protests from Trinamool Congress supporters who raised "go back" slogans when the leader visited a polling booth in Shibnagar village in Murshidabad's Naoda Assembly constituency.
