"A closed chapter now...": BJP leader Dilip Ghosh on row over his remark against Mamata Banerjee

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Dilip Ghosh refrained from commenting further on his previous remarks regarding Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, stating that it is a 'closed chapter now.

Speaking on his statements made against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Ghosh said, "Whatever had to be done in that matter, legal proceedings are underway. No further discussions need to be made on that, it is a closed chapter now".

Ghosh further added that the opposition does not have any issue, which is why they make an issue out of any statement passed by him.


"The ones, who keep abusing the governor day and night, why do they now go and stand in front of him? If you are here to do politics, come on the battlefield, come in front of the public. Why do they keep pleading everywhere?," he said.

"I dont like to say anything against my opponent. I go to the public. I am a part of the BJP's Vikas Yatra, fir ek baar modi sarkaar, ab ki baar 400 paar," the BJP leader stated.

On TMC leader Mahua Moitra skipping ED summons, Ghosh remarked, "I don't have to say anything on that. Whatever will be the decisions of the CBI, ED and court have to be accepted. Many people ignored that (the summons), where are they today?..."

BJP leader Dilip Ghosh, earlier, stirred row, over his 'indecent' remarks against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

While addressing reporters in Durgapur, BJP MP Dilip Ghosh said that wherever Mamata Banerjee goes, she calls herself the daughter of that state, and "she must identify her own father."

"When Didi (CM Mamata Banerjee) goes to Goa, she calls herself the daughter of Goa. When she goes to Tripura, she says that she is the daughter of Tripura. She should first identify her own father." Dilip Ghosh said.

BJP President JP Nadda issued a notice seeking clarification from the party leader Dilip Ghosh regarding his remarks on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. (ANI)
