Bharatiya Janata Party\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Last Sunday, at Sodepur of North 24 Parganas, Ghosh had warned police officers<\/span> <\/a>stating \u201cSome 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\u201d. He added that these officers were spending money to educate their children outside West Bengal. \u201cTheir children won\u2019t be able to complete their education. We will turn them into migratory workers.\u201d 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<\/span> <\/a>that \u201cthe fact that you are moving around safely is due to police personnel taking care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n On Wednesday, at a meeting over tea in Birbhum\u2019s Bolpur, Ghosh sarcastically said that West Bengal is a beggar. Speaking on the Central government\u2019s 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. \u201cAt the drop of a hat, they want this, they want that. They are always seeking alms like beggars,\u201d he said. \u201cThey won\u2019t allow the Central government\u2019s flights, trains to enter the state, but accept rice and daal because it’s easy to loot those.\u201d<\/p>\n Ghosh had gone to a tea shop at Bandhghora in Bolpur for a \u201ctea-meet\u201d 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 \u2013 the way it had happened in Howrah, Eco Park, Golf Club and now in Bolpur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Bengal BJP chief makes controversial statement again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":279,"featured_media":8329,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[387,57,246,346,156,421,49,46,301],"tmauthors":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-10344","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-bengal","8":"tag-assembly-elections-2021","9":"tag-bjp","10":"tag-coronavirus-in-india","11":"tag-coronavirus-in-kolkata","12":"tag-dilip-ghosh","13":"tag-gst","14":"tag-mamata-banerjee","15":"tag-trinamool-congress","16":"tag-west-bengal-government"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/279"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10344"},{"taxonomy":"tmauthors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tmauthors?post=10344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
