Kolkata, Nov 5 (TIWN) Oscillating between the bizarre and the controversial, West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh has said that milk of Indian cows contain gold and also raked up the beef issue by calling those who consuming it as "anti-socials".

“Desi cows have a hump on their back. Foreign breeds do not have humps and their backs are plain like that of a buffalo. The hump has ‘Swarna Nari’. When sunlight falls on the hump, it produces gold. That is why the milk of desi cow is yellowish or lightly golden. It contains gold. If one drinks only desi cow milk it is enough for sustenance. There are many religious men who live by drinking cow milk and ater from the Ganges,” said Ghosh, in a public meeting in Burdwan on Monday.  Ghosh criticised a section of intellectuals for their preference of eating beefs. “There are educated people who eat beef on the road side. Why only cow? They can have dog meat too. Eat other animals too. It is good for health. But please eat at your home. The cow is our mother and we view cow killing as anti-social,” said Ghosh.
