Dilip Ghosh expressed regret over the statement given regarding Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal : Senior leader and MP of Bharatiya Janata Party Dilip Ghosh (Dilip Ghosh) on Wednesday expressed regret over his controversial statement regarding West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Mr Ghosh’s statement regarding the Chief Minister had sparked controversy and the BJP has sought an explanation from him. Dilip Ghosh was heard making fun of Banerjee’s family background in a purported video clip. The BJP leader said that his party and others have objections to his choice of words. He said that if it is so then I am sorry for it.

Trinamool Congress had complained to the Commission

Trinamool Congress has filed a complaint against Ghosh with the Election Commission regarding his comments. The party alleged that Dilip Ghosh’s statement violated the model code of conduct. Former state BJP president Dilip Ghosh said that he has no personal enmity with the Chief Minister. He said that this is not the first time that controversy has arisen over my statements, because I speak in the face of those who make mistakes. He claimed that he had only opposed Mamata Banerjee’s political statements. However, Mr. Ghosh also said that his comments have raised the issue of women’s respect, but if a Trinamool Congress leader has said derogatory remarks against opposition leader Subhendu Adhikari and his father Shishir Adhikari, is it not an insult to him?

BJP national president JP Nadda has also sought clarification from Dilip Ghosh.

Speaking to reporters, Mr Ghosh said, ‘Can’t Subhendu expect respect just because he is a man?’ BJP has fielded Ghosh, the outgoing MP from Medinipur, in this election from Bardhaman-Durgapur parliamentary constituency. On Tuesday, he had made fun of a slogan given by Trinamool Congress in Bengali language, which means ‘Bengal wants its daughter only. Is’. Referring to Chief Minister Banerjee, Mr Ghosh said, “When she goes to Goa, she says that she is the daughter of Goa.” In Tripura she calls herself the daughter of Tripura. Let’s clarify that first. BJP spokesperson Shamik Bhattacharya said that his party does not support such statements about women and about a Chief Minister and hence an explanation has been sought from Dilip Ghosh.
