BANKURA, 5 JULY:  Trinamul Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee raised a fresh controversy after he compared Nirmala Sitharaman to 'a snake' like Kal Nagini and labeled her as the 'most useless finance minister of the country'. Banerjee made the remarks at Bankura on Saturday, following which the BJP has hit back.

Kalyan Banerjee said, "The way people die due to bite of 'Kal Nagini', the same way, people are dying due to Nirmala Sitharaman. She has destroyed the economy. She should be ashamed and resign from her post. She is the worst Finance Minister."

The BJP reacted strongly to his comments, with state party president Dilip Ghosh claiming West Bengal chief minister and TMC boss Mamata Banerjee has lost grip over her party leaders.

"Corruption has spread in the TMC from top to bottom; they have become puzzled by internal feud and many of them are making senseless comments to divert the attention from the situation prevailing in the ruling party.

"We don''t give much importance to such comments.... they are uttering such nonsense out of frustration," he said.

Banerjee went further to attack BJP MP Dilip Ghosh and said, "We are not afraid of Dilip Ghosh. Let him tell BJP leaders that we are not sitting at home wearing bangles, we are strong and we will meet in the field. If you want to fight physically, we won't step back. We will give you appropriate answers to all the dirty politics you are playing."

"I will silence Dilip Ghosh and I want to see how brave he is. A person like Dilip Ghosh, who needs 18 security guards, should not wear men's clothes, they should wear saree instead. Even people who wear saree are stronger than him," Kalyan said.
