Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Derek O’Brien on Sunday tore into claims made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at poll rallies in West Bengal, saying two videos that have come out on the Sandeshkhali issue have exposed the “conspiracy to malign” the state.

On a day when Modi addressed four rallies in support of the BJP’s Lok Sabha poll candidates in West Bengal, O’Brien shared a fact-check report on X and called the prime minister the “Lyin King”.

“We often fact check Narendra Modi…. ‘The Lyin King’ just ended his third and fourth speeches. So much of deceit, falsehood and hate, that even our fact check meter broke down,” the TMC leader said in a post on the microblogging platform.

“Two Sandeshkhali videos exposed BJP’s conspiracy to malign Bengal and humiliate women. Concocted by Bengal LoP Suvendu Adhikhari.

Bribed and forced women to sign a blank paper and file false rape complaints. BJP shelters molesters: Brij Bhushan Singh, Prajwal Revanna. Unnao, Kathua, Hathras,” the document shared by O’Brien read.

Multiple videos have surfaced on social media, purportedly claiming that a local BJP leader made several women from Sandeshkhali in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal sign on blank papers that were subsequently filled up as sexual assault complaints against TMC leaders.
