India Today
TMC MP Aparupa Poddar on Saturday attacked BJP leader Dilip Ghosh and called him names in a now deleted tweet. Poddar's tweet comes amidst controversy over Ghosh's remark on West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's lineage.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Aparupa Poddar attacked BJP leader Dilip Ghosh on Twitter by calling him names. In a now deleted tweet, Poddar said Ghosh doesn’t realise that “mothers and sisters of Bengal are our pride”. Poddar’s comment comes amidst the controversy over Ghosh questioning West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s lineage.
At the India Today Conclave East on July 6, Dilip Ghosh said, "In Bengal, Mamata Banerjee calls herself daughter of Bengal, in Goa she calls herself daughter of Goa. What about her lineage?"
While speaking at a function in her parliamentary constituency on Saturday, Poddar said, "Dilip Ghosh needs to be sent to the Rachi insane asylum immediately." She said that Dilip Ghosh is now suffering from frustration as he does not get respect in his own party - either in Delhi or in Bengal.
Reacting to the MP’s attack, Dilip hit back saying, “It is nothing but a competition to show who is more loyal. We all know how much we respect women. If they really respect women, they would have supported Droupadi Murmu as the presidential candidate. Mean-minded people use bad words; there is nothing to worry about.”
On July 7, a delegation of the Trinamool Congress comprising Kunal Ghosh, Shashi Panja, Tapas Roy, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Nayana Bandyopadhyay, Sajda Ahmed and Mala Roy met Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar and called for 'harsh punishment' for BJP's Dilip Ghosh for remark on CM Mamata Banerjee.
A police complaint was also lodged against Ghosh for his remark on Mamata Banerjee.
