A bust of legendary singer Kishore Kumar in the southern part of the City became a point of contention between the TMC and the BJP on his 93rd birth anniversary, with the saffron camp alleging that its members were not allowed to pay floral tributes on the occasion, a charge rebuffed the ruling party of West Bengal.
Actor-turned-BJP leader Rudranil Ghosh claimed that he and some of his saffron camp colleagues were thwarted from garlanding the bust, installed near Tollygunge Metro station.
"Kishore Kumar is integrated with our culture. He is our pride. The TMC showed its true colours with its narrow-minded politics over Kishorji. We were stopped from garlanding his bust," he said.
