No one knows how to land in controversies better than BJP leaders. Be it their comments on women dressing style or food habits, their comments make some or the other controversy. One more leader landed in a similar situation.
The Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar made controversial remarks on Rabindranath Tagore. The Union Minister said, due to his complexion, Tagore's mother did not cradle him.
He made these objectionable comments during his visit to Visva Bharati University. Calling Nobel winner Rabindranath Tagore not so fair, the Minister said with this reason, his mother and family members did not cradle him.
The TMC had reacted to the objectionable comments sharply and said how can a Minister that too a Education Minister can pass such objectionable comments on an icon.
The TMC leaders and the educationists schooled Subhas Sarkar that Rabindranath Tagore was fair and found fault with the Minister for making unnecessary comments on his complexion.
However, the West Bengal wing of BJP jumped out to defend the Minister in this row and called the comments made by Subhas Sarkar against racism.
