Saini Ghosh Responds to Property Allegations
TMC MP and youth wing leader Saini Ghosh defended herself on Wednesday against allegations related to a property in Kolkata purportedly linked to Abhishek Banerjee, labeling these claims as "fake news." She warned of legal action against those spreading these accusations. Ghosh stated that attempts are being made to tarnish her reputation through these "false reports" regarding ownership of the property. In a post on X, she refuted claims that she is a co-owner of the property located at 19 D Seven Tanks Road, Kolkata 700030. She emphasized that her financial details have already been made public through her election affidavit.
Legal Action Against Defamation
Ghosh expressed her gratitude for the support she has received from the public and reassured her constituents that her assets are declared in her election affidavit. She urged those attempting to defame her without evidence to cease their actions immediately, stating, "I will not let this go unchallenged. Legal action will be taken against those spreading fake news. This is not a Ghosh who can be intimidated." The actress-turned-politician also warned those trying to malign her reputation without proof. She concluded her post with a line from Rabindranath Tagore: "Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high."
Controversial Video Surfaces
A controversial video allegedly featuring the chairman of the Sikandarabad municipality in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, has gone viral. In the video, he appears to announce a reward of 1 crore rupees for anyone who beheads TMC MP Saini Ghosh. However, the municipal head, Pradeep Dixit, later claimed that the video was manipulated to damage his reputation. The viral footage reportedly shows him making this announcement during a protest organized by Hindu groups.
