2023 By-poll Violence

High scale violence by CPIM workers took place during the election and on voting day, but still the public came to the polling booths by boldly admitting that they are going to vote for BJP as a revenge for CPIM's poll violence and the boycott of the Left Front followed on the counting day of the results, where the Bharatiya Janata Party had secured a overwhelming majority with a vote share of 87.97%, where as the nearest rival secured 10.07%. After the results, the CPIM workers continued their violence attacks, but this time against their own coalition partner congress by attacking congress workers and burning down their houses by blaming them for favouring BJP and voting against CPIM, which according to CPIM is their actual reason for defeat and BJP's thumping victory.
