\u201cThe impact of MODI TSUNAMI – Mamata Banerjee appeals everyone to vote for BJP!\u201d<\/em> – the official twitter handle of BJP Bengal declared in a tweet that the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Bannerji, appealed to vote for BJP in a rally. Accompanying the tweet was a short 18-second video in which her words – “BJP shorkar ke vote diye” – <\/em>were played in a loop. The English translation of the statement is –\u00a0“vote for BJP”.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 BJP Bengal (@BJP4Bengal) April 23, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is it possible that Mamata Banerjee, the leader BJP political opponent All India Trinamool Congress, would make such a statement in a rally?<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h2>\n

It turns out that BJP Bengal had tweeted a doctored video, which was clipped and played in a loop to give a misleading impression. Mamata Banerjee addressed a rally in Khanakul, West Bengal on April 23. While ending her speech, Banerjee asked the people to vote out BJP, with a sarcastic tone to her words. Banerjee\u2019s words “6 May aasche din, ekhane bhalo kore gonotontroye BJP Sarkar ke vote diye bhalo kore kobor din, bhalo kore kobor din, bhalo kore kobor din<\/em>“, can be approximately translated as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201cOn May 6, cast your vote for BJP government and give them a proper burial, give them a proper burial, give them a proper burial<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

The part where Banerjee says “bhalo kore kobor din<\/em>“, which literally translates to “put them in the grave<\/em>“, was clipped out by BJP Bengal. Instead, the part where Banerjee sarcastically says “vote for BJP<\/em>” was retained and played in a loop. The relevant portion of the original speech can be seen in the video posted below.<\/p>\n
