Trinamool Congress' Jahangir Khan withdraws from Falta repoll

Trinamool Congress candidate Jahangir Khan has withdrawn from the upcoming repolling in the Falta constituency, scheduled for May 21. The decision comes just two days before the election, following allegations of voter intimidation and EVM tampering, including claims that BJP symbols were taped at polling booths. Khan, a close aide to TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee, faced scrutiny after a top Uttar Pradesh police officer was deployed to monitor the law and order situation. The political landscape in West Bengal has shifted following the May 4 election results, with a new BJP government led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari now in power.
