Congress leader and chief of the party’s West Bengal unit Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury came down heavy on the BJP saying that it is using Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case keeping in mind the Bihar elections.
“Departed star, Mr #SushanthSinghRajput was an Indian actor, BJP turned him into a Bihari actor, only to score electoral brownie points”, he tweeted.
His tweet comes in the light of Bihar unit of the BJP putting posters of Sushant Singh Rajput with the words, “Na bhoola hai, na bhoolne denge (We haven’t forgotten, nor will we let anyone forget)”.
He called the arrest of Rhea Chakraborty by the Narcotics Control Bureau as ludicrous saying that the central agency has done it ‘to please the political masters’.
He went on to say that “Rhea is a Bengalee Brahmin lady” and “justice for actor Sushant Rajput” should not be interpreted as “justice to Bihari” adding that Rhea’s father was entitled to demand justice for his kids.
This tweet of the Congress leaders has been called out by many netizens for the unwarranted labelling of linguistic and caste identities. Here are some the reaction to his tweets.
1. If she daughter of Army person it doesn't give flexibility to do wrong thing.
2. Don't bring caste here.
3. Bihari/Bengali doesn't matter when it comes to investigation.
4. SSR fans and his family want to know the truth that's why the investigation.#WorldUnitedForSSRJustice— Kaveri (@kaveri_m) September 10, 2020
hea Chakravorty is involved in drug dealing and you and shiv sena are making her a big actress and now bengali brahmin . Does it give any type of certificate and clean chit that being a bengali brahmin and father an ex military officer that they cannot do any crime.

What is the significance of being 'brahmin'? Brahmin or watever, no one is above the law. She deserves justice and so does sushant. Not a media trial for votes.
