TMC reveals audio clip, accuses BJP of conspiracy against elected govt

‘Malviya did not deny for once that the Sandeshkhali issue was a conspiracy by the BJP’

KOLKATA: A day after BJP’s district general secretary of Basirhat, Siriya Parveen joined Trinamool Congress (TMC), the ruling party of Bengal revealed an audio clip and accused the saffron brigade of hatching a conspiracy against an elected state government.

On Friday, TMC played an audio clip in a Press conference alleging it was a telephonic conversation between Parveen and Amit Malviya, BJP’s co-in-charge of Bengal and head of the national IT-cell of the party. The authenticity of the clip, however, has not been verified by Millennium Post.

Trinamool’s national spokesperson Shashi Panja, without naming Malviya, said: “When Parveen was returning home, she was contacted by a BJP leader who is co-in-charge of Bengal and handles the IT-cell of the party. In that conversation, he did not deny for once that the Sandeshkhali issue was a conspiracy by the BJP. This is important. He also asked her what she will gain by joining TMC since it is soon going to become extinct. It is clear that such a remark indicates a conspiracy against an elected state government.”

She added: “Parveen has revealed how the entire conspiracy was hatched by the BJP and what role the BJP’s national IT-Cell in charge played in it. It is evident from the audio clip.”

“BJP had sent outsiders, arms, cash etc. to create the Sandeshkhali conspiracy. The agenda was to insult Bengal in front of the country for electoral gains,” Panja said.
