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.
The decision to bring in a new West Bengal president is being seen as part of the BJP's efforts to reinvigorate its organisation in the state amid desertions by a number of its leaders. However, party sources said that the move was aimed to fill the post of the vice president which fell vacant after Mukul Roy switched back to Trinamul once again.
"This double standard cannot continue. Either they will have to say there is no corona in the state or they will have to suspend the polls. There will be a gathering of thousands in the election meeting of Mamata Banerjee. Is there anyone who can arrest them? They will only arrest Dilip Ghosh, Suvendu Adhikari and the BJP supporters,"
"They (Trinamool) are saying that there is no Corona in the state. If that is so, why are they not allowing local trains to operate? Why are they not allowing schools to open? For the last one year, they have not conducted civic polls because of the pandemic. Just because of Mamata Banerjee, the Trinamool is now putting pressure on the ECI for conducting the bypolls..."
The grassroots miscreants are taking chances and torturing people. As a result, the residents of these areas think that if they work together, there will be no improvement. So, they have demanded a separate state. The people's representatives in the area have raised the voice of the people there. We are not in favour of any division,"
“If the demand for a separate north Bengal or Junglemahal gathers steam, it is Mamata Banerjee who must bear the responsibility.”
