Dilip Ghosh
Kolkata: A day after a BJP neta in Birbhum told Puja organisers that a photo of CM Suvendu Adhikari must be on display if govt aid is received, the state’s rural development minister Dilip Ghosh said there has not been any such directive from the govt. Ghosh added that egg attacks should come to an end.
He is neither with BJP nor with Trinamool,” Ghosh said. Trinamool agitated against judges. That trend is continuing. But everything has a limit. It has to be seen how eggs entered court premises. He also criticised the alleged attack on former state minister Humayun Kabir. “Why should he be beaten up?
Responding to an incident of egg-pelting during ABVP’s agitation at Baruipur court on Tuesday, Ghosh said, “The culture of agitation was started by CPM.
People should focus on preparing for the Durga Puja ,” Ghosh said. Action would be taken against committees that failed to do so, Banerjee had said. “The govt has not given any such instruction. If a beneficiary failed to hang a poster of Mamata Banerjee , he was not given any aid next time. I don’t think this govt will ever do any such thing.
We have seen such instructions during the earlier govt. On Tuesday, BJP Birbhum district president Uday Shankar Banerjee had said that any Puja committee accepting the govt’s Durga Puja grant must display a poster or photograph of the CM at their pandal.
