Accompanied by a powerful statement, the BJP emphasized the importance of uncovering the truth, stating, "A truth that'll shock us. A truth that'll pain us. A truth that'll shake our conscience. The truth of #Sandeshkhali, that Mamata Banerjee is trying to hide..."
The documentary features testimonies from several women from Sandeshkhali, detailing the crimes they allegedly endured. However, the TMC has dismissed these allegations, accusing the BJP of orchestrating a smear campaign.
The BJP, positioning itself as the primary opposition force in West Bengal, has capitalized on this issue to launch a blistering attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her party, particularly in light of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Local women have accused TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan and his supporters of engaging in land grab and perpetrating sexual assaults under duress.
Sheikh Shahjahan, currently on the run, faces allegations of involvement in a violent confrontation with Enforcement Directorate officials during a raid on his residence, conducted in connection with a corruption case.
The release of this documentary marks a significant escalation in the political tensions between the BJP and the ruling TMC, setting the stage for a fiercely contested electoral battle in West Bengal.
