What's the story

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) IT cell head Amit Malviya has posted videos of an alleged fight between Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs. The incident, which took place at the Election Commission (EC) office in Delhi, was later discussed in a party WhatsApp group. Per Malviya, the party had asked MPs to meet at the Parliament office to sign a memorandum before going to the EC, but one MP skipped the meeting and went straight to the EC, resulting in the scuffle.

The situation got so heated that police had to intervene and Mamata Banerjee had to step in. In the video, one of the MPs, Kalyan Banerjee, is heard angrily attacking the other politician, while another voice, presumably that of Derek O'Brien, attempts to calm them. "We are in a public space brother, I'm pleading with you," the man believed to be O'Brien said. When another person stepped in, saying, "This will get leaked in the media," Kalyan responded, "Let it."

In the screenshots Malviya shared, he inquired about the identity of the other MP engaged in the verbal spat with Kalyan, "Who exactly is the 'versatile international lady?'" While Malviya did not name the MP, Trinamool MP Saugata Roy suggested that the leader was Mahua Moitra. "I saw Mahua was crying in Parliament... She was going to complain about Kalyan's behavior," he said. He also slammed Kalyan's "intemperate behavior" and called it unacceptable.
