A senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader has denounced an incident in which eggs were thrown at a Trinamool Congress parliamentarian in West Bengal, while making a sardonic remark about cooking methods.

Dilip Ghosh, a prominent BJP figure, has responded to the controversy surrounding an egg attack on Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra, condemning the incident as unacceptable and calling for it to be prevented.
Ghosh stated that throwing eggs at political leaders is inappropriate and should not be tolerated. The BJP leader's remarks came in response to the assault on the West Bengal-based parliamentarian, which has drawn attention to rising tensions during political engagements in the state.
In a characteristic jibe, Ghosh sarcastically suggested that those throwing eggs should instead cook them into omelets rather than wasting the raw eggs. The quip reflected the BJP leader's broader criticism of the incident while employing humor to underscore his disapproval.
The egg-throwing incident has renewed discussions about acceptable conduct during political interactions and the security of elected representatives in West Bengal, where electoral and inter-party tensions frequently manifest through physical confrontations and public disturbances.
