TMC supporter Garga Chatterjee<\/a> tweeted photographs of a man dressed as Hanuman and said that he was “Jagannath Sarkar, BJP MP candidate from Ranaghat” in West Bengal (archive<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Not a BJP West Bengal candidate<\/h2>\n

The photographs viral on social media depict the Bharatiya Janata Party’s recent rally in West Bengal’s Ranaghat constituency. Dilip Ghosh, president of the BJP WB unit, had shared<\/a> the images on April 22 with the caption –\u00a0“\u09b0\u09be\u09a8\u09be\u0998\u09be\u099f \u09b2\u09cb\u0995\u09b8\u09ad\u09be \u0995\u09c7\u09a8\u09cd\u09a6\u09cd\u09b0\u09c7 \u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09be\u09b0\u09cd\u09a5\u09c0 \u099c\u0997\u09a8\u09cd\u09a8\u09be\u09a5 \u09b8\u09b0\u0995\u09be\u09b0\u0995\u09c7 \u09a8\u09bf\u09df\u09c7 \u09b0\u09cb\u09a1 \u09b6\u09cb\u00a0 (Roadshow with Ranaghat Lok Sabha constituency candidate Jagannath Sarkar).”<\/em> Ghosh had uploaded several photographs, including the ones where a man dressed as Hanuman can be seen seated atop a jeep.<\/p>\n
