West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh on Saturday hit back at Nobel laureate Amartya Sen for criticising the rising Hindutva politics in the state of West Bengal. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said Amartya Sen does not know Bengal and asserted that the entire Bengal now chants Jai Shri Ram and celebrates Ram Navami.
While hitting back at Amartya Sen's remark where he said Jai Shri Ram has no association with Bengali culture, Dilip Ghosh said, "Amartya Sen probably doesn’t know Bengal. Does he know about Bengali or Indian culture? Jai Shri Ram is chanted in every village. Now entire Bengal says it."
