Apart from some of his other sterling qualities earning for him the honorifics like "Feku" or "Chor Chowkidar", he's also, undoubtedly, too gross.
No doubt about that. 

Must watch the video clip to hear Moitra speaking.
Otherwise it'd be a great miss.

Btw, "rock" in Bengali means not wall but high-level ground floor verandah of a house - projecting outward, touching the adjoining lane and providing a sort of buffer between the (main) house and the lane.
Quite often used by the local young ones - males only, without any gainful occupation, to keep seated in a group for a good part of the day.
The residents of the house, for a variety of reasons, usually opt not to object.

<<Leaders of Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress, riled over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's taunt to Mamata Banerjee on whether she wants to contest from another seat,  gave a decided negative on Thursday, albeit off the record. What infuriated party MP Mahua Moitra was something else.  

"There is something we have in Bengal called 'rock-er chhele', which means a street-side fellow who sits on a wall and who basically calls out to every lady walking past, saying "Diddi, ei diddi". This is Prime Minister doing this," Ms Moitra told NDTV on Thursday.

Asked if she meant it was a catcall, Ms Moitra shot back, "Don't take it out of context. Please. But doesn't it sound like that? What does it sound like?"

Then she went on to add:  "That the Prime Minister in a rally with lakh of people (talks) about a sitting Chief Minister saying (mockingly) 'Diddi o diddi'. Would you say that? would he say that about his mother?  Would he say that about his sister? Would he say that about his estranged wife? Would he say that about anybody? How is that okay? Is this Prime Minister going to come and teach us about decorum? This is a Prime Minister sitting here chortling a sitting Chief Minister in the cheapest, basest way possible."

PM Modi had jeered at the Chief Minister during a rally in Uluberia on Thursday evening as the second phase of polling in the state was in progress.>>
