Latest from Elections in Bengal

Seems like the Left were up to their usual game:

1. The local Police OC alleges that CRPf has "beaten him up. Also, the local MP accuses the CRPF DIG of "acting out of jurisdiction.
The Hindu : Front Page : Nandigram police official alleges attack by CRPF personnel
Government vs CRPF in Nandigram-Kolkata -Cities-The Times of India

2. CPM cadres jamming booths
The Telegraph - Calcutta (Kolkata) | Bengal | Hours in queue, booth far away

3. Local Police personnel allow CPM cadres to rig ballot; thankfully they are stopped by CRPF detachment
The Telegraph - Calcutta (Kolkata) | Bengal | Cops out, cadres in

Any Central government with some semblence of a spinal cord would back CRPF DIG Raj to the hilt, but I am not that confident of the Madam-Manmohan combo
