Netaji Subhash Bose said \u201cGive me blood and I will give you freedom\u201d. Swami Vivekananda did NOT say it. Please go back to drinking Fanta in UP and leave Bengal alone. You\u2019re a joke,&#8221; the TMC MP said in a post on X.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The official handle of TMC shared video of the UP CM where he can be heard misattributing the quote &#8216;Give me blood and I will give you freedom&#8217; to Swami Vivekananda.

He attributed the immortal line \u201cGive me blood and I will give you freedom\u201d to Swami Vivekananda. It was Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Two completely different icons. Two completely different legacies. Both sons of Bengal. Both insulted in a single sentence by one man,&#8221; the party&#8217;s X handle said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>&#8220;They cannot tell Swami Vivekananda apart from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. They misattribute quotes. They garland Swami Vivekananda\u2019s statue while calling him Netaji. And yet these same people have the audacity to dream of building &#8216;Sonar Bangla&#8217;.
