Police said trouble broke out when a Trinamool Congress procession was passing by one party office on Barrackpore-Barasat Road and some in the 'michhil' objected to the tearing of posters in the morning.
As an altercation ensued, the party office was ransacked by some people. Soon another nearby party office of the Left party was aso damaged, the sources said.
The Trinamool denied the charge and said it was the handiwork of a rival faction of the Marxist party.
Election to the seat will be held on May 12.
