In Durgapur, West bengal, bjp mp dilip ghosh was the subject of a First Information Report (FIR) due to statements he made disparaging chief minister Mamata Banerjee. This comes only hours after Ghosh apologised for his statements made on wednesday and after the election commission sent him with a show-cause notice, requesting a response by march 29.
 
A video that went viral on social media showed Ghosh making fun of the trinamool congress supremo's family history. "When Didi goes to Goa, she becomes Goa's daughter, in Tripura, she says I am Tripura's daughter, decide who is your father, this is not right," reads Ghosh's statement in english as given by the election commission in its notice.
 
Dilip Ghosh made reference to the Trinamool Congress's election slogan, "Bangla Nijer Meyekei Chaye," which stands for "Bengal wants its own daughter," in the bengal assembly votes of 2021.
 
The trinamool congress later filed a complaint with the election commission on the bjp leader's comments, and the poll authority declared the comment to be derogatory and offensive, as well as prima facie in violation of the commission's prior guideline and the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
 
The lok sabha mp was reminded by the election authority of the MCC's rule stating that criticism of rival political parties should only be directed against their policies, programmes, track records, and previous activities.
 
Subsequently, the bjp also asked Ghosh for clarification.
 
GHOSH EXPRESSES REGRET OVER HIS REMARKS
Ghosh expressed contrition shortly after the scandal around his statements arose, admitting that his party and the public had misgivings about the terms he used.
 
Ghosh, who is renowned for saying things that cause controversy, added, "If that is the case, I apologise."
 
Former state bjp president Ghosh made it clear that he had no personal grudges against the chief minister.
 
"This is not the first time that a controversy has erupted over my comments since I say it on the face of anyone who does any wrong," he stated.
