Sandeshkhali orchestrated by BJP: Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee accused BJP of orchestrating the incidents of Sandeshkhali, where allegations of sexual abuse against TMC leaders have surfaced, to malign the state. The party on Saturday released a video, claiming that the footage vindicated its stand that the BJP was behind the Sandeshkhali episode.

"I had for long stated that the BJP has been trying to malign the image of Bengal by orchestrating the Sandeshkhali incident. The sting operation revealed the real face of the ‘Bangla-Birodhis' as they tried to manipulate emotions of my mothers and sisters. On the 13th of May, the people of Ranaghat shall ensure that the Bangla-Birodhis are ousted from Bengal!" Banerjee posted on X.

In the purported video, a man claimed to be Gangadhar Kayal who is a BJP mandal president, was heard saying that the leader of the opposition in the West Bengal assembly "Suvendu Adhikari is behind the whole conspiracy".
