Keeping the BJP religious

At an interaction with students at Kolkata’s St Xavier’s College, CPI(M) politburo member Sitaram Yechury was asked how he tackled the BJP. Yechury was quick to reply, “I really don’t mind the BJP criticising or attacking me. I, in fact, ask them to attack me more. You see, my name contains the name of both Ram and Sita. So, when they take my name, it is a pious experience for them! And as long as they attack me, I know I am going in the right direction.”
