Dilip Ghosh, West Bengal BJP chief, on Wednesday, 20 June, lashed out at the ruling Trinamool Congress at a public event in Jalpaiguri, threatening to carry out ‘encounters’ of Trinamool party workers or imprison them if they did not stop bothering BJP members.

The party chief said that the BJP had not signed a bond to be tolerant towards the Trinamool and that they would retaliate with violence and bullets towards anyone who bothered them. “There will be dead bodies in every corner. Nobody will be spared,” he added, saying that there is no shortage of bullets.

The motormouth politician went on to rant that his party members had limits to their patience and that they would not “feed rosogollas” to those who hit them. Instead, he warned that those who hit them would be hit back, guns would be responded to with guns and bombs with bombs.

He also referred to Gabbar Singh’s famous dialogue from ‘Sholay’. “How many bullets were there,”, he quipped, to loud applause and cheering from the gathered crowd.

This is hardly the first time that Ghosh has made such inflammatory remarks in public. On 1 June 2018, he had accused the police of working for TMC and had threatened to remove their uniform,

“Police is working for the ruling party. I warn them to stay cautioned. Nobody knows what will happen to Didi in three years (2021 Assembly election)… whether she will be in Nabanna (state secretariat) or she would be cooking in Kalighat (her residence). We can remove their uniforms if needed,” he had said, according to The New Indian Express.
