Kolkata: BJP national vice-president and West Bengal strongman Dilip Ghosh has stoked a controversy by saying that Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Saugata Roy will be "beaten with shoes" for his statement regarding his party's critics. At the same time, Saugata Roy has hit back at Ghosh's statement.
Roy has said that the BJP leader has not taken formal education and is now in touch with the TMC as the BJP no longer trusts him. TMC veteran Roy had said that after the arrest of two party leaders, leaders of opposition parties were unfairly targeting the party. Roy had said in a statement that shoes will be made by skinning those who believe that they can come out like this by defaming the party under the guise of protest. However, Roy later also expressed regret over his statement.
On this statement of Roy, Ghosh said on Thursday that Saugata Roy is a senior leader. He has also been a professor at one time, but we are surprised to hear the language he has used for the opposition. He is telling his party workers that shoes will be made by removing the skin. But the day is not far when people will beat him with shoes. Ghosh further said that TMC leaders will be beaten up with shoes in different parts of the state.
