The Assam BJP and West Bengal BJP are at loggerheads over one statement by the CM attacking the national identity of Bengal's people. Recently, he got one FIR lodged against a Congress worker for singing “ AMAAR SONAR BANGLA” in a meeting at Karinnagar by labelling this song anti-national, the source says. This song was written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1905 during the partition of Bengal source says. The sentiment of the Bengal people is much attached to the song, though this was adopted by the Bangladesh government, as the source says. The action of CM is likely to create trouble in Assam as well, but the West Bengal BJP is much disturbed because with great difficulty they encroached in the so-called Bhadra people of Bengal society, middle class, who are very much concerned with patriotism and specifically with the creations of Rabindranath Tagore, source says.
The one action of the CM is likely to create disturbances, and they are likely to revert to their original choice, according to the voting source. Another disturbing factor is that in 2014, the PM repeated some lines from this song while addressing his first rally in Kolkata, West Bengal, according to the source. The Bengali Bhadra people have also taken strong objection to the issuance of a poster by the BJP on social media with the heading ‘ Abdul Chacha Ka Geet’ The BJP of both the states is in shock after the clips of the PM’s rally are taking round on social media source says.
