এইরকম কুরুচিকর মন্তব্য @DilipGhoshBJP বাবু ছাড়া আর কারোর থেকে প্রত্যাশিত নয়!
একজন মহিলা মুখ্যমন্ত্রীর সম্বন্ধে এইরকম নিন্দনীয় ভাষা প্রয়োগ প্রমাণ করে যে @BJP4Bengal নেতারা মহিলাদের সম্মান করে না।

BJP spokesperson Shamik Bhattacharya, nevertheless, stated that there was no must create an issue over the remark.
“I feel such feedback shouldn’t be taken severely. The chief minister makes many intemperate remarks in opposition to the BJP and our leaders at public conferences. Dilip Ghosh is a beneficiant particular person. Even if he made such a remark at a rally, it must be saved in thoughts that many issues are stated at election conferences which shouldn’t be all the time thought of severely.
“Ghosh has great respect for the chief minister. So no controversy should be created,” Bhattacharya stated. Ghosh, who was campaigning in Purulia district on Tuesday, has not commented on the row thus far.
The BJP state president has earlier been within the midst of controversies for his feedback which ranged from claims that `desi’ (Indian) cows milk have gold content material to calls for that Balakot-like surgical strikes be carried out on Jadavpur college to drive out communists.
His purported remark triggered protests on Facebook too with some girls expressing outrage.
The Chief Minister sustained accidents on her left leg, hip, forearm, neck and shoulder at an incident in Nandigram quickly after submitting her nomination papers on March 10.
She had alleged that the BJP hatched a conspiracy to stop her from campaigning by organising an assault, a cost denied by the saffron camp.
The Election Commission had concluded that the chief minister had suffered accidents following an accident, on account of a safety lapse.
