Mamata stated that the situation in Sandeshkhali has been manipulated, accusing the opposition of converting sesame into palm for their political gains. She highlighted a sequence of events, including individuals being sent to the ED and later aligning with the BJP, suggesting a coordinated effort to create turmoil in the region.
Mamata Banerjee accused some media personnel of contributing to the distortion of facts in Sandeshkhali, claiming that they entered the area and played a role in turning a molehill into a mountain. The CM emphasized that the incident was deliberately manufactured, insinuating that political motives were behind the sensationalizing of the situation. The administrative assembly in Siuri became a platform for Mamata to address the alleged conspiracy and criticize the involvement of opposition parties.

The accusations of political maneuvering, involvement of the ED, and media distortion contribute to the growing tensions between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the opposition, particularly the BJP.
