Trinamool Congress MLA Hamidur Rehman issued a veiled threat to Opposition supporters, warning them not to complain if anything happens to them once central forces leave North Dinajpur district after April 26. He urged voters not to waste their votes on BJP, Congress, or CPI(M) candidates. Rehman challenged the Opposition to list their development works in the district, stating he would support them if they had any. Voting in Bengal's Lok Sabha elections will take place from April 19 to June 4.
