Why is Bengal's 'political virus' getting dangerous day by day?
According to the data released by the state government, the number of new cases in Bengal touched 5,892 on Wednesday, which is the highest single-day spike recorded in the state so far. Capital city Kolkata alone added 1,601 cases to the state's tally.
On Thursday morning, Congress candidate Rezaul Haque, who was scheduled to contest from the Samsherganj Assembly constituency in Murshidabad district, succumbed to Covid-19 at a private hospital in Kolkata.
Murshidabad is set to go to the polls on April 26 in the seventh phase. The Commission is likely to postpone the polls in Samsherganj owing to the unfortunate demise of the Congress nominee.
