Original review summary

The review says the viral clip is presented out of context: Adhikari was quoting allegations against the BJP before refuting them, not saying that the BJP would not survive in West Bengal unless it changed its attitude. He was defending the party’s stance on voter lists and alleged infiltrators.[S1]
