BJP Workers “Feed” Honey to Mamata Banerjee’s Picture in Protest against Offensive Remark on PM Modi
In a protest against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s alleged derogatory comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) symbolically “fed” honey to her photograph to “sweeten her language.” The incident took place during a rally organized by the BJP’s youth wing in Kolkata.
The BJP workers also carried copies of ‘Barnaparichay,’ a popular primer written by Iswarchandra Vidyasagar, a renowned figure in the state, to remind Banerjee about the richness of the Bengali language. This move was aimed at criticizing her remarks and highlighting the need for linguistic respect.
The Trinamool Congress, on the other hand, criticized the BJP and called for self-introspection, accusing the state’s Leader of Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, and other party leaders of speaking derogatorily about Banerjee.
The controversy arose when Banerjee allegedly used an offensive word against PM Modi during a recent dharna demanding the release of MGNREGA funds owed to Bengal. BJP youth leader Indranil Khan condemned the Chief Minister’s remarks and stated that it goes against the cultural heritage of Bengal. He emphasized the significance of luminaries like Vidyasagar, who introduced ‘Barnaparichay’ to promote the richness of the Bengali language.
In response, TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh highlighted Banerjee’s respectful attitude towards her political opponents and criticized BJP leaders, including Suvendu Adhikari, for using derogatory language to refer to her and leaders of non-BJP parties.
The incident has sparked a debate between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress, with both parties exchanging allegations and demanding apologies from each other. The situation remains tense as both sides await a response from the other.
