Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress has been up in arms against a controversial comment by High Court judge-turned-politician Abhijit Gangopadhyay that targets Mamata Banerjee. The former judge's purported comment -- videos of which are circulating online -- has provided massive ammunition to Trinamool, which has tagged the BJP as "anti-women" since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Didi-O-Didi" taunt in 2021.
The BJP claimed it was a "fake video". "We don't agree with the existence of any such videos. This is a ploy by the TMC to release fake videos and malign the BJP. But that won't make any difference in the elections," BJP spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya was quoted as saying by news agency Press Trust of India.
