BJP leader storms into trouble, calls Mamata Banerjee 'eunuch'

May 01, 2017 12:07

West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party leader Shyamapada Mondal waded into controversy by calling Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee a 'eunuch' and accused her of practicing politics of appeasement.

"Today you cannot understand whether Mamata Banerjee is a female or a male.. I'd say she has become a 'hijra' ( eunuch)," he said.

This statement has triggered demand for action against him.

Also earlier this month, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha leader courted massive controversy by announcing a reward of Rs 11 lakh for West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's head, following a lathi charge at Birbhum district to disperse a rally raising slogans of "Jai Sri Ram" on Hanuman Jayanti.
