      Mamata Banerjee Secretly Visits Nandigram Dargah? Not Really

      A video of West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee praying at a dargah in Nandigram has surfaced with claims that she offered prayers in secret to avoid communal backlash. BOOM however found that the event was widely reported in the media and also live streamed from official handles.

      The video shows Banerjee with folded hands as a person offers prayer at the dargah with Allah O Ameen chants heard in the background. The person praying, can further be heard asking in Bangla, for Banerjee's win in the upcoming assembly elections. The video also shows several other party members present with Banerjee and offering their prayers.

      The video is being shared with a narrative that states Banerjee has cheated Hindus by allegedly appeasing Muslims.

      Users on social media are falsely claiming that the video is leaked footage and was shot by a hidden camera and is being shared with the caption, "Mamata didi.. praying with Muslims in the dark of late night in Nandigram yesterday! But you are cheating Hindu brothers in the daytime
