Kolkata. First of all, Congress leader Digvijay Singh had called a leader of his party a hundred ton maal. Recently in Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena leader Arvind Sawant created a ruckus by calling Shaina NC, who is contesting the Maharashtra Assembly elections from Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena, a ‘maal’ (goods) and later apologized. Now Firhad Hakim, a minister in Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal, has called BJP leader and Rekha Patra, who had contested the Lok Sabha elections, as ‘goods’.
BJP leader Rekha Patra had contested the elections from Basirhat Lok Sabha seat.
According to the video in the media, Minister Firhad Hakim, who is considered very close to Mamata Banerjee, said that the candidate has been announced at your place. Where is that candidate? Had fought against Haji Noorul and lost. Then he said ‘Hero Maal’ for Rekha Patra. Firhad Hakim also said that she only knows how to file cases. Firhad Hakim also said objectionable things about PM Narendra Modi. He called Modi a bearded man. Firhad Hakim said that a bearded man had come before the elections. Do you remember his name? Tell me what is the name of that bearded man? Then taking the name of Narendra Modi, he said that he was crying in the name of Sandeshkhali’s mother and sisters.
TMC leader Firhad Hakim has been accused of making remarks against BJP’s #RekhaPatrawho became the voice of the victims in Sandeshkhali.

At the same time, BJP leader Rekha Patra has hit back at Firhad Hakim’s statement and condemned it and said that the PM and I were attacked. Rekha Patra called Firhad Hakim’s statement shameful and said that this statement is an attack on the women of Sandeshkhali who were protesting. Let us tell you that Rekha Patra had contested the Lok Sabha elections from Basirhat on BJP ticket. There she lost to Haji Noorul. After the demise of Haji Noorul recently, by-elections are being held there. After Firhad Hakim’s indecent statement about Rekha Patra and PM Modi, there are chances of politics heating up again in West Bengal.
