Incidentally, both BJP and Congress were last month targeted using the same clip.<\/p>\n

The video was circulated with a similar caption attacking the BJP. Even the name of the MLA – Anil Upadhyay – was the same – “BJP \u0935\u093f\u0927\u093e\u092f\u0915 \u0905\u0928\u093f\u0932 \u0909\u092a\u093e\u0927\u094d\u092f\u093e\u092f \u0915\u0940 \u0907\u0938 \u0939\u0930\u0915\u0924 \u092a\u0930 \u0915\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0915\u0939\u0947\u0917\u0947 MODI \u091c\u0940, \u0907\u0938 video \u0915\u094b \u0907\u0924\u0928\u093e \u0935\u093e\u092f\u0930\u0932 \u0915\u0930\u094b \u0915\u0940 \u092f\u0947 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u093e \u0939\u093f\u0928\u094d\u0926\u0941\u0938\u094d\u0924\u093e\u0928 \u0926\u0947\u0916 \u0938\u0915\u0947 (Modi ji, what is your comment on BJP MLA Anil Upadhyay’s act?

SHOCKING!! Elections have no meaning in West Bengal. Voting happens as per the wishes of Mamata Banerjee. Look at the White Kurta Clad #TMC<\/a> goon.. dictating voters to vote for Trinamool. Is #ECI<\/a> sleeping? Where is Central Force??

Clip allegedly from West Bengal<\/h2>\n

If one listens carefully, the people in the video can be heard talking in Bengali. Upon looking for news reports on possible booth capturing in West Bengal, we came across an April 18 YouTube upload by Republic<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>The media outlet had posted the same video and captioned it as –\u00a0“<\/em>Booth Capturing By TMC In Islampur.”<\/em><\/p>\n
