The state BJP leadership has condemned the state government over Chatterjee’s arrest. State BJP general secretary Sayantan Basu said, “Chatterjee distributed cow urine but did not ask people to drink it fraudulently. When he distributed it, he clearly stated that it is cow urine, he did not force anyone to drink it. It is not proven whether it is harmful or not. ” He said, “How can the police arrest them without any reason.” It is completely undemocratic. “
The BJP chief Dilip Ghosh of West Bengal unit said that there is no loss in urine drinking and no remorse for them to accept that they are shifting.
