The Congress has termed a viral video as fake that showed its Bengal unit head Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury asking people to vote for the BJP. In an online post, the Congress said, "Some unscrupulous persons from the IT Cells of either of our political rival parties has shared a doctored video of our beloved leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, wherein he was found to be saying to vote for the BJP instead. This video was shared by the MPs and other few big shots of both the parties also, intentionally to malign our leader."
