I will also file a case against Amit Malviya for sharing an edited video.”Biswas’s comments came days after Trinamool Birbhum neta Anubrata Mondal had alleged that an edited video of him had been shared by BJP.Malviya referenced Mondal’s video in a post and said: “In an epic admission, after TMC neta Anubrata Mondal said the party could hardly win 15–16 seats in the first phase of elections, TMC’s Sagardighi candidate Bayron Biswas has now declared that he is going to lose. He also listed the names of TMC candidates (including sitting MLAs) who are likely to lose.”
