Dilip Ghosh, the BJP President of West Bengal, has once again gotten in hot water after claiming that gold can be found in cow milk.
He said, “Nowadays people are buying packet milk. They don’t go for pure cow’s milk. I said gold is found in cow’s milk, there has been a lot of talk about it. Those who didn’t have real cow milk, how will they know whether there is any gold in it or not?”
TMC MP Sukhendu Shekhar Roy responded to Dilip Ghosh’s statement by saying, “I never heard about the presence of gold in cow milk but the presence of gold in Dilip Ghosh’s brain may be possible.”
This isn’t the first time Dilip Ghosh has found himself in controversy.
Ghosh responded in April 2019 against a segment of India’s “educative society” for eating beef from roadside shops and feeling proud of cleaning the excrement of “foreign” pet dogs at home.
Then he explained that because desi cow’s milk includes gold, it is yellow. “Our country’s cows have gold nuggets on their backs. When the sun shines, gold is made from it,” he had stated.
“India is a place of Gopal (Lord Krishna) and respect for Gau (cow) will remain here forever. We will see the insult to our mother cow, killing of the mother cow as a heinous crime and we will continue to oppose this. After breastfeeding, a child survives on cow milk. The cow is our mother and we will never tolerate it if someone kills our mother,” Ghosh had said.
Final but not least, on August 27, 2019, in Mecheda, East Midnapore, Ghosh threatened that if he continues to harass party workers in the district, no one will be able to trace his body and his family members will not be able to perform his last rites.
