Audio clip war erupts in Bengal as TMC, BJP release leaked tapes

  • | Sunday | 28th March, 2021

BJP and TMC at war on media tape, both counter to defame parties.  

BJP on Saturday released a telephonic conversation allegedly between West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee and BJP’s Tamluk organization district vice president Pralay Pal, in which a voice of CM is heard urging Pal to return to Trinamool. Pal who lives in Nandigram’s  Birulia claimed he had turned down the CM’s offer and would work for Suvendu Adhikari’s victory in Nandigram. The alleged conversation triggered a bitter war of words between Trinamool and BJP.

Meanwhile, TMC cited an audio clip in which two senior BJP politicians – Mukul Roy and Shishir Bajoria are heard discussing moving the Election Commission to allow any Bengal Voter to be a poll agent anywhere in the State. On March 18th the EC had amended its rules allowing anyone within an assembly segment to be a poll agent within that septic seat. Kunal Ghosh who released the clip in the media alleged that BJP politicians held influence the BJP to change the poll norms.

"Didi, you called me and I am honored. But I can`t betray the Adikaris as they have stook by through thick and thin”, Pal however did not heed Mamta’s request.

It claimed that Mamta is misusing her official position to influence the outcome of the assembly election.

"First of all, the clip is not verified. We don`t know whether it is true or false. But we don`t see anything wrong in a politician calling in her former leader, this is natural in politics.”TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said.
