      A photo of a newspaper clipping purporting to show Mamata Banerjee said, "Give us 42 seats we will show how to make Hindus cry," is photoshopped.

      The fake image has morphed the headline from the front page of Bengali daily Bartaman .

      The morphed image is viral on Facebook with the message, "Mamta says, Win me 42 seats & I'll show you how to make the Hindus cry. Bengali newspaper BARTAMAN HEADLINES."

      The photograph has made its way to WhatsApp as well.

      Fact Check

      BOOM analysed the image and noticed stark discrepancies in the headline font used in the viral image.

      We also ran a keyword search in Bengali in the Bartamanpatrika.com website. The same article, with the correct headline had been uploaded on the news portal on April 20, 2019. The original headline of the lead story reads, "Give us 42 seats and we will show you how to shake up Delhi: Mamata"

      The West Bengal chief minister made the comments while campaigning at TMC candidate Apurba Sarkar's rally in Berhampur, on April 19.

      In the headline, the Bengali word for Delhi 'দিল্লী' has been replaced with Hindu 'হিন্দু' and shake up 'কাঁপাতে' has been replaced with cry 'কাঁদাতে' in Bengali.

      In fact several netizens have pointed out the edited photo by posting the original newspaper clipping. BOOM Bangla had debunked the edited newspaper clipping, when the caption was viral in Bengali on Facebook.
