A clip of Congress leader Adhir Chowdhury purportedly asking people to vote for the BJP instead of the Trinamool Congress is viral on social media. Several influential users have tweeted the video, some condemning Chowhdury’s words, some urging people to listen to him.
For instance, BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya said, “Listen to him, Bengal.”
