Dilip Ghosh shoots his mouth off again, calls West Bengal a beggar seeking alms from the Centre
Bharatiya Janata Party’s West Bengal boss shoots his mouth off again. On Wednesday, he said that West Bengal is a beggar that always seeks alms from the Central government.
Last Sunday, at Sodepur of North 24 Parganas, Ghosh had warned police officers stating “Some police personnel are working at the behest of the ruling party. Within a year, we will ensure that they are unable to be in contact with their families”. He added that these officers were spending money to educate their children outside West Bengal. “Their children won’t be able to complete their education. We will turn them into migratory workers.” Ghosh had also said that Trinamool Congress workers will be stripped and beaten with shoes. Reacting to these comments, but without naming Ghosh, chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said that “the fact that you are moving around safely is due to police personnel taking care of you.”
On Wednesday, at a meeting over tea in Birbhum’s Bolpur, Ghosh sarcastically said that West Bengal is a beggar. Speaking on the Central government’s new education policy, Ghosh hit out at the Bengal government saying that Bengal criticises all policies of the Central government, but would also seek the Good and Services Tax (GST) compensation. “At the drop of a hat, they want this, they want that. They are always seeking alms like beggars,” he said. “They won’t allow the Central government’s flights, trains to enter the state, but accept rice and daal because it’s easy to loot those.”
Ghosh had gone to a tea shop at Bandhghora in Bolpur for a “tea-meet” on Wednesday. However, on reaching, the shop was found closed. So Ghosh and his team went to a nearby shop for interaction with the local people. He alleged that wherever he scheduled his meetings over tea for interaction with the local people, the shops were forcibly shut down by the ruling party or the administration – the way it had happened in Howrah, Eco Park, Golf Club and now in Bolpur.
