A viral video from Bhairab Ganguly College in Belgharia has sparked controversy, showing a man dancing to the Bollywood song ‘Jamal Kudu’ inside the college premises with a liquor glass balanced on his head. A woman dancer is also seen beside him. The video has drawn widespread attention online and led to strong reactions from opposition parties. The man in the video is alleged to be Rana Biswas, a former student leader of the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP), the student wing of the Trinamool Congress.
According to reports, Rana Biswas passed out from Bhairab Ganguly College nearly a decade ago. It has also been reported that his mother is currently a councillor in Kamarhati Municipality. The authenticity of the video has not yet been independently verified by Taaza TV. Despite the circulation of the clip and rising criticism, the college authorities have not issued any official statement regarding the incident or its context.
The BJP and Left Front have criticized the Trinamool Congress over the video, questioning the conduct seen during a college fest. The Trinamool Congress, in response, stated that some level of entertainment during college festivals is normal and the matter should not be treated with undue seriousness. The controversy continues to unfold amid ongoing political tensions in the state.
