New Delhi, May 30 -- The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday, May 30, chastised West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her remarks targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he was touring the state. The saffron party also rejected as fake news a media report that claimed the party planned to distribute vermilion among women to mark the government's anniversary.

Speaking of Mamata Banerjee's remarks, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said, "Mamata Banerjee has said what should never be spoken. No politician or elected representative should use a language... [she said] 'Is PM Modi the husband of every woman?' What kind of language is this?"

Yes, Modi is a 'sewak' (servant) to all - like a father figure to some and a brot...
