With saffron banners and sharp weapons, Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh led an unprecedented set of rallies on Ram Navami earlier this month seen as a message for the party's political opponents in the state. Weeks later, he followed that by words which could not be more blunt: "We will skin you, we will change the geography of your face". The Trinamool Congress and CPM say this is not Bengal's culture. But Mr Ghosh or his party do not seem to care and have only doubled down on the offensive.
