"Woman Card": BJP's Dilip Ghosh Amid Row Over Remarks On Mamata Banerjee

BJP MP Dilip Ghosh said he will respond to the BJP leadership, which has demanded an explanation

Amid the row over his offensive remark against Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, BJP MP Dilip Ghosh today launched a counterstrike on Ms Banerjee's nephew Abhishek and questioned his comments on BJP's Suvendu Adhikari and his family.

"Just because Suvendu Adhikari is a man, he and his father [former MP and Union Minister Sisir Adhikari] don't have any respect? A woman card is being used frequently," he told the media.

Mr Ghosh has come under fire for his remarks on Ms Banerjee on the campaign trail for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. "Didi goes to Goa and says, 'I am Goa's daughter', then goes to Tripura and says, 'I am Tripura's daughter'. Decide who your father is. It is not good to be just anybody's daughter," he said.
