Dilip Ghosh, the West Bengal Minister, reacted strongly to reports of threats made against a jhalmuri vendor from Jhargram who had served Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a rally in Krishnanagar in April. Ghosh asserted that such threats were attempts to create unrest in the country and promised a strong response from the government. He stated, "A few people cause tension in India by doing such things. That time is now gone. It is our Government now. Everything will be responded to well."

In addition to addressing the threats, Ghosh criticized Mamata Banerjee, the leader of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), for her recent call for protests against the 'bulldozer culture' in West Bengal. He argued that these discussions would have been more impactful if they had occurred during her tenure as Chief Minister, implying that her administration neglected the issues faced by the people. The political landscape in West Bengal has shifted significantly following the BJP's victory in the recent Assembly elections, where they secured 207 seats, ending the TMC's long-standing dominance.
