Kolkata Doctor Rape Case: BJP unleashing 'sinister toolkit' to topple govt, TMC's Gokhale says
TMC) MP Saket Gokhale on Monday accused Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of unleashing a sinister toolkit in West Bengal with an agenda to topple the state government.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he said, «There's an organized campaign being run by BJP by trending 'Mamata Must Resign'.'
»It's been 5 days since CBI took over the case & there are ZERO updates. But not a SINGLE protest has been done against CBI. Genuine protestors have now been replaced by BJYM & BJP workers on the streets of Kolkata. In their own words: the ONLY agenda is toppling the Govt," he added.
In order to validate his arguments, Gokhale attached screenshots of the hastag being used and driven by infamous «BJP and Hindutva» handles. «No genuine protestors or ordinary people have used this hashtag,» he added.
Highlighting the timeline of the events in his post, the Rajya Sabha MP wrote, «The hashtag BJP have been trending is „Mamata Must Resign“. This is how it started: On 15 Aug, AFTER CBI took over the case, BJP IT cell issued a call to „trend“ the hashtag „Mamata Must Resign“. This was amplified by BJP ecosystem including head of OpIndia.»
Furthermore, he flagged the statistics alleging that the trend is an organized work of BJP IT cell and not something from ordinary people.
«Over 2 lakh posts in just 4 days using the EXACT hashtag #MamataMustResign. This is NOT organic. And the reach? Over 91 MILLION. Impossible for ordinary accounts,» he added.
The TMC MP also stated that the saffron party's IT cell is amplifying the trend
