TMC rubbishes PM's speculation over Mamata's second seat

Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at TMC boss Mamata Banerjee, asking if she would contest the polls from another seat, implying her loss in Nandigram is imminent, the ruling party in Bengal clarified that she had no such intention. A TMC leader said the question of Mamata Banerjee fighting from another constituency does not arise as she will be winning the Nandigram seat comfortably, news agency PTI reported. Sporadic incidents of violence, allegations of booth capturing and clashes on Thursday marred the second phase of assembly polls in Bengal, especially in the high-profile Nandigram constituency, even as over 80 per cent turnout was recorded.
