Babul Supriyo, IT minister in the Mamata Banerjee cabinet and BJP MP and former judge of Calcutta High Court Abhijit Gangopadhyay entered into a heated exchange of words against each other on Vidyasagar Setu across river Hooghly on Friday night over alleged blowing of car horn.
Reacting to the current situation in Bangladesh and the anti-India sentiments expressed by some sections of its population, former BJP state president and former MP Dilip Ghosh reacted sharply today.
Firebrand BJP leader Dilip Ghosh today said that chief minister Mamata Banerjee should be actively vocal against torture and attack on the minorities in Bangladesh.
BJP leader Dilip Ghosh ridiculed the Mamata Banerjee government today in matters linked to the state's bid to dissociate from DVC.
Governor C V Ananda Bose headed for New Delhi on Thursday evening, hours after a meeting with the BJP’s present and former state presidents in West Bengal Sukanta Majumdar and Dilip Ghosh respectively.
Upon realising the error, Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh himself brought it down before rectifying the mistake and raising it properly.
“She seems to be inspired by Lalu Prasad Yadav (the RJD leader and formerly Bihar CM). For no apparent reason she says that she is ready to serve jail term. It expresses her disappointment this way. Now time has come for her to remain in jail”, the BJP leader Ghosh said.
Reportedly, the main talking point for BJP was to ensure heavy presence of central forces across the state during the upcoming West Bengal Assembly Election.
Mr Ghosh further said that farmers are being exploited in the state, and that they were unable to avail of the central government’s schemes and laws made for them through which the rest of the country has been benefiting.
Dilip Ghosh took a jibe at the reported incidents of a few TMC leaders getting the vaccine shot on Saturday, despite not being a frontline health worker.
