KOLKATA:BJP planned and organized the story of women’s torture in Sandeshkhali in exchange for money,”the ruling TMC party said when the first video of the Sandeshkhali sting operation came out.
Meanwhile,the second video of the Sandeshkhali sting operation was released.Whereas BJP’s president in Sandeshkhali 2 block Gangadhar Kayal is heard saying that 72 women have been paid so far for the agitation.
Many agitators have been given mobile phones.After Sandeshkhali,the flames of the movement came to Jeliakhali, Bermujur.
Gangadhar claimed that the women were paid Rs.5,000 there too.The second video of the Sandeshkhali sting operation was released on Saturday night.
However, the authenticity of this video has not been verified by ‘Country and Politics ‘.
In the video,the local BJP leader is heard demanding more money to strengthen the BJP base in Sandeshkhali.
In that video of 46 minutes and 7 seconds,BJP’s Gangadhar says,”Really, all this will not happen with empty hands.
We have been doing it for a long time.We can accept.But not everyone can do that.They will not speak without a single rupee in Sandeshkhali.”
In the video,the interviewer asked Gangadhar, how much money will be required for the election?
Gangadhar was heard demanding at least 1 lakh rupees in reply. Besides, the BJP leader said that 10 bikes, his fuel consumption and provision of alcohol in the area on the occasion of the vote.
When asked how much liquor will cost,the BJP leader said”It costs more in tribal areas.A little less in Scheduled Areas.
There are about 50 booths in three regions. Sandeshkhali has 10 booths.There will be more alcohol. Let that be 5 thousand per booth.”
Not only that, the mandal president of BJP is heard to demand weapons in the area for voting. He said, “Arms will be needed for Korakati and Manipur.
I don’t need Sandeshkhali.Basically the pistol will be needed more.30 for Korakati and 20 for Manipur. 50 is fine.”
Gangadhar even revealed the names and phone numbers of the protestors who took part in this movement in exchange of money in that video.
After the release of Sandeshkhali’s second video, the uproar naturally started. Trinamool had earlier alleged that BJP had arranged the whole matter with money.
Now that the second video has come to light, the question is raised, how deep the seeds of conspiracy were shown in Sandeshkhali keeping in mind the election?.
