"TMC leaders have problems with slogans of Jai Shri Ram. y are more comfortable with slogans like 'Joy Bangla'. This is a conspiracy by TMC to turn West Bengal into Bangladesh. TMC has opposed CAA with this very intention so that persecuted religious mirities...refugees can't get Indian citizenship. We will never allow West Bengal to turn into Bangladesh," Dilip Ghosh asserted.
"re's still time to mend your (TMC) ways, or else you people will be beaten up in middle of road. I will skin m. Go, tell local TMC leader I will strip him naked in middle of a road and body will save him. Yes, but I am t a coward. If my party workers are beaten up, I will beat those who have beaten m up, too", Ghosh added.
