District Trinamul leaders posted a minute-long video clip on social media on Saturday that claimed local BJP MP Nisith Pramanik had recently resorted to a “publicity stunt” with a broom on Cooch Behar palace grounds.
After a cultural event at the royal palace, the MP and his associates threw garbage on palace premises and his aides shot a video of the parliamentarian and some others sweeping the place with brooms, Trinamul’s district chief Partha Pratim Roy alleged, with the short clip to apparently back it up.
Pramanik, in Calcutta for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Sunday rally, could not be contacted by this paper, but district BJP leaders brushed aside Trinamul’s claim.
