The BJP issued a show-cause notice to Dilip Ghosh, party candidate from Bardhaman-Durgapur in West Bengal, for making derogatory comments about CM Mamata Banerjee. Trinamool Congress filed a complaint against Ghosh, prompting the notice. Ghosh has been asked to apologize and explain his comments.

Ghosh admitted to receiving the notice and clarified that he has no personal enmity with the CM. He stated that his comments were in response to her political statements.
