Kolkata, July 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) In the continuing pre-poll violence over the July 8 panchayat polls in West Bengal, a local Congress leader Aurobindo Mondal was lynched allegedly by the ruling Trinamool Congress activists in Murshidabad district on Friday morning.
Ironically, the incident coincides with the arrival of West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose in Murshidabad this morning to visit violence-stricken pockets in the district.
Family members of the victim as well as the district leadership of Congress have alleged that Mondal was first chased and then lynched by the local Trinamool activists.
However, the local Trinamool leadership has denied the allegations.
On Thursday only, the Governor launched a scathing attack against the state election commissioner Rajiva Sinha holding the latter solely responsible for the continuing violence.

Now with 18 deaths pre-poll deaths reported in the last 30 days, everyone is apprehensive of what the situation will be on the polling day on Saturday.
