Actor and United Democratic Front candidate Dharmajan Bolgatty on Tuesday alleged that he was prevented from entering a polling station at Sivapuram in Balussery constituency by a group of irate Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) workers.
He also complained that the youth organisation workers tried to manhandle him in the presence of voters and created a lot of trouble.

Kolkata: Voting for the second phase of the West Bengal assembly election began at 7 am on Thursday.
In phase-II, a total of 30 Assembly constituencies from the districts of South 24 Parganas, Bankura, Paschim Medinipur and Purba Medinipur are heading in to vote.
171 candidates
Out of the 171 candidates in the fray, 152 are men and the remaining are women. It means only 11 per cent of the candidates are women.
Among these candidates, two are undoubtedly the most prominent figures, that is, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her former ministerial colleague Suvendu Adhikari, who had joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in December last year. Nandigram is all set to witness the most high-profile contest with Banerjee and Adhikari taking on each other.
