He further said, 'Ramchandra was a king. Gandhiji envisaged of ​​Ram Rajya to the people of India. But,where did Durga come from? '

This part of the BJP state president's statement went viral on social media on Friday night.

The Trinamool Congress has strongly condemned the remarks. A Trinamool MP says the BJP's only goal is to come to power in West Bengal using religion.

Trinamool Congress MP Kakli Ghosh Dastidar was also present at the discussion on Friday. There, she said, the BJP leader had insulted the Goddess Durga, revered by Bengali Hindus.

She said, 'As a devout worshiper of Durga, I am extremely shocked. I was surprised to hear that the state president of a national political party is insulting the adored deity in this way! It is a direct blow to religious sentiments! '

In her comment she further added, 'Goddess Durga is our mother, our strength, our inspiration ! How can a party that claims to be the bearer of Hinduism talk about Goddess Durga like this! '
