AgenciesDespite censure by Bharatiya Janata Party’s central leadership on Tuesday, BJP's national Vice-President Dilip Ghosh is still in no mood to keep silent. Quoting Union Home Minister Amit Shah's comment in Parliament in April that "you will die if you go to Bengal", Ghosh on Thursday blamed the Trinamool government for allegedly conspiring in "murder" of the singer KK, sparking fresh controversy.
“The programme was not organized by the college but it was Trinamool’s programme. As Union home Minister Amit Shah has said, accordingly the singer died without reason coming to Bengal,” Ghosh commented today. He also claimed that and mismanagement in the auditorium.
Asked about censureship, Ghosh also claimed that he did not receive any letter from the Central leaders. "What is this censorship all about? I have not received such communication,” Ghosh said.
Ghosh said, “People have made me an Opposition leader. I speak in the language which people understand. I have always maintained control and do not speak what is not needed”
The BJP’s national vice-president and former Bengal chief Dilip Ghosh was censured by the central leadership of the party from speaking to the media on BJP national president JP Nadda's instruction according to a letter sent by Arun Singh, BJP’s national general secretary and headquarters in-charge.
The party has asked Ghosh to “refrain from going to the media, both print and electronics, and comment about his party colleagues in Bengal and outside”. Ghosh's comments have been a reason for “anguish to state leaders and caused embarrassment to the central leadership”, Singh wrote in the letter, dated May 30.
However, the letter hardly had any impact on the BJP leader and he continued to speak to the both electronic and print media, as usual from Wednesday morning, a day after he received the censure letter.
Ghosh has often been vocal about defection, local leadership and grassroot people’s dissatisfaction about the party leaders. He had commented about the “inexperience” of the newly appointed state BJP president, Sukanta Majumdar, on several occasions recently.
Trinamool state spokesperson Kunal Ghosh claimed that Dilip Ghosh has been sidelined with the censureship, in a bid to bring newly appointed Sukanta Majumdar to the forefront.
Meanwhile, BJP leader and MP Saumitra Khan demanded a central probe on KK's death in Kolkata. "Who gave the funding for the programme.. Fest passes bore the name of Trinamool Congress Student's union TMCP's name.
