As per news report of NDTV, the BJP, she said, "is trying to impose a monolithic, patriarchal, Brahminical, North Indian idea of my religion". "I challenge the BJP to prove me wrong. Anywhere in Bengal where they file a case, there will be a Kali temple within 5 km where the goddess is worshipped thus," she told NDTV in an exclusive interview. Citing the Kaal Bhairav temple of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, and the Kamakhya temple of Assam, she dared the BJP governments of the two states to file affidavits contradicting her. One of the police cases filed against her is in Bhopal.
