The viral video shows Mamata Banerjee telling the people of West Bengal to “stay poor, eat bhaat-ruti (rice and roti), and be happy with whatever you have at your home,” implying she wants the public to remain in poverty.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says the viral video was clipped from Banerjee’s address to Trinamool Congress workers at the party’s Martyrs’ Day rally. It reports that she urged them to live simply, avoid greed and serve the people, rather than telling the general public to remain poor.
