New Delhi, May 4 : Former Governor of Meghalaya and Tripura and senior West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Tathagata Roy on Tuesday trained guns at party National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and state unit Chief Dilip Ghosh for giving tickets to film and TV actors who never had anything to do with politics.
In a series of tweets, Roy questioned Vijayvargiya and Ghosh what great qualities these women possessed for which they were given tickets. Film and TV actors who never had anything to do with politics, let alone BJP, were handed tickets by BJP s election management team Parno Mitra (Baranagar), Srabanti Chatterjee (Behala West), Payel Sarkar (Behala East), Roy tweeted.
