BJP leader's 'who's your father' remark on Mamata Banerjee sparks row

India Today  

A controversy erupted on Tuesday after BJP leader Dilip Ghosh mocked the family background of Trinamool Congress supremo and Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Dilip Ghosh's remarks were in reference to the Trinamool Congress's poll slogan in the 2021 Bengal Assembly polls 'Bangla Nijer Meyekei Chaye'. Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh jabbed the BJP leader and called out the "misogynistic leadership" of the party's unit in Bengal. "Dilip Ghosh's frustration from being sidelined by his own party is very apparent and his insecurity is shown through his uncouth and lowly behaviour," he wrote on X. Trinamool Congress candidate Kirti Azad, Dilip Ghosh's opponent in Bardhaman-Durgapur seat, also condemned the remarks of the BJP leader against the sole "female CM of India".
