TMC Attacks Adhir Over 'Better To Vote For BJP' Remark...
The TMC on wednesday accused congress leader adhir ranjan chowdhury of being the "B-team" of the bjp after a purported video, where he allegedly stated that voting for the bjp is better than voting for the TMC, went viral, prompting a denial from the congress, claiming the video was "doctored". An eight-second video clip of Chowdhury's speech during an election rally in West Bengal's Murshidabad was shared by the TMC, where the sitting congress MP and candidate from West Bengal's Baharampur was seen saying "It's better to vote for the bjp than to vote for the TMC."
However, the authenticity of the clip could not be verified by PTI. Responding to the clip, the West bengal congress unit termed it as doctored and officially complained to the EC, seeking intervention and appropriate penal action. Commenting on the purported remarks, congress leader jairam ramesh said the goal of his party is to bring down the numbers of the bjp in West bengal and that the TMC is part of the india bloc. Earlier in the day, the TMC, upset with Chowdhury's continual criticism and holding him responsible for the breakdown of seat-sharing discussions with congress in the state, labelled him as "anti-Bengal."
