While extending wishes on the birth anniversary of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, PM Modi referred to him as 'Swami'. Calling the prefix unprecedented and improper, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee said, "Sri Ramakrishna was widely revered as Thakur (literally, God)." "Yet again, our PM aggressively displays his cultural insensitivity towards great figures of Bengal," she added.
