81 pc voter turnout in West Bengal in 8th phase, one killed Bihar

WEST BENGAL: In West Bengal, polling today in the six seats was crucial for both Left Front which had won them five years ago and Trinamool Congress desperate to wrest them. Notable among the 72 nominees are nine-time MP CPI(M)'s Basudeb Acharia facing the challenge of actress Moonmoon Sen of Trinamool Congress from Bankura, singer Babul Suprio of BJP from Asansol and another actress of yesteryears Sandhya Roy of Trinamool Congress from Midnapore.
