The West Bengal unit of the BJP has issued a response to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s ‘Bohiragoto’ (outsider) jibe on the celebration. It has launched a brand new marketing campaign advert titled ‘Ei Banglay Bohiragoto Tara’ (‘In this Bengal, they are the outsiders’) that includes artists from the Bengali leisure trade and college students.
The advert options actress Payal Sarkar, a candidate for the celebration within the elections, as effectively and different luminaries akin to Pandit Santanu Bandyopadhyay from the Bishnupur Gharana and actress Tanushree Chakraborty.
Pandit Santanu Bandyopadhyay says within the advert, “Those who have ignored Shri Ramakrishna and Maa Sarada and imparted Marx in education, those who have sidelined Vivekananda, Aurobindo and converted Ramdhenu into Rongdhenu, in this Bengal, they are the outsiders.”
“Those who have never heard Krittibas’s Sriram Panchali, those who are agitated by the chant of Jai Shri Ram, those who have forgotten whom Ramakrishna and Chaitanya adored, in this Bengal, they are the outsiders,” says Payal Sarkar.
Actress Tanushree Chakraborty says, “Those who banished Taslima (Nasreen) by passing a Fatwa, those who are the masterminds behind the Marichjhapi massacre, those who brutally burnt the Anandamargis, in this Bengal, they are the outsiders.”
The marketing campaign advert additionally rakes up the difficulty of the persecuted Hindus in Bangladesh. Singer and Composer Raj Sarkar says within the advert, “Those who remain silent when Hindus are killed in Bangladesh, those who cheer when Hindus are disrespected, those barbarians who fed the mother the blood of her son, in this Bengal, they are the outsiders.”
The look of distinguished artists from the Bengali leisure trade in addition to broadly revered luminaries akin to Pandit Santanu Bandyopadhyay within the marketing campaign advert highlights the truth that the BJP is not thought-about an unacceptable selection within the Bengali corridors of energy. The video was posted on the YouTube channel of state BJP president Dilip Ghosh on the seventeenth of April.
