According to Mahua Moitra, who believes that the BJP is not the guardian of Hindu deities and should not instruct Bengalis in the worship of Goddess Kaali, she has handled the situation like a responsible politician.
Digital Desk: Mahua Moitra, a
Trinamool Lok Sabha member who caused a stir with a remark she made about
Goddess Kaali, enquired as to whether Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma
could provide a written explanation of the offerings paid to the Kamakhya
temple. "Can the chief executives of other BJP-ruled states take similar
action with regard to the offerings made to Maa Kali in their temples? Aren't
there offerings in these temples that include alcohol? The BJP badly wants to
take me down since I vehemently denounce its wrongdoings, but I am aware that
their plan would fail. “According to news agency PTI, the Trinamool leader made
the statement while speaking to a Bengali news channel.

Moitra remarked, "I challenge the respective BJP administrations to put in
writing in an affidavit to the court about offerings made to Goddess
Kaali."
According
to Mahua Moitra, who believes that the BJP is not the guardian of Hindu deities
and should not instruct Bengalis in the worship of Goddess Kaali, she has handled
the situation like a responsible politician.
I
believe my behaviour reflected a mature politician. We have long avoided the
topic of the BJP imposing its own brand of Hinduism, which is based on
long-standing traditions in North India. The BJP should stop forcing it on
residents of other regions of the nation, such as West Bengal, where Hindus
have long practised their well-established rites. "Who is the BJP to tell
us how to perform Goddess Kali's puja in a specific manner?" remarked Mahua
Moitra.
"Lord
Ram and Lord Hanuman are not exclusive to the BJP. Has the party adopted Hindu
dharma as their own? " Mahua continued.
Mahua Moitra claimed that Kaali was a
meat-loving, alcohol-accepting goddess to her at the India Today Media
Conclave, which sparked the issue. The remark sparked a significant backlash,
leading to numerous complaints and FIRs being made against Mahua in West Bengal
and elsewhere. The Trinamool Congress distanced itself from Mahua's comments
and publicly denounced them as the situation took a political turn, with the
BJP demanding action against Mahua.
The
Trinamool leader affirmed that what she said was how Goddess Kaali is
worshipped in West Bengal's Tarapith, a significant Shaktipeeth, and she did
not retract her remarks. She further explained that her remarks had nothing to
do with the continuous poster for Leena Manimekalai's documentary, which
depicts a lady smoking while disguised as Goddess Kaali.

interview that she knows how to worship Kaali and is a follower of the goddess.
"For the last 2,000 years, we have been worshipping the goddess in the
same manner." The electorate rejected the BJP, an outsider party that wants
to impose its Hindutva agenda. I am an adept at Kaali worship since I am a
Kaali bhakt, "she stated.

Following
the uproar, Mahua Moitra unfollowed the Trinamool Congress on Twitter after the
party released a statement denouncing her remarks. When questioned about the
situation, Mahua Moitra responded, "I am Mamata Banerjee's staunchest
supporter in West Bengal." If there are any problems, we will settle them
inside the party. We won't talk about it in public. "
