’Mamata the Destroyer’: BJP demands resignation of West Bengal CM over Kolkata doctor’s rape-murder

Kolkata doctor rape-murder case: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday demanded the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the gut-wrenching alleged rape and murder of a post-graduate intern doctor in RG Kar hospital.

BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia, at a press conference in Delhi, termed the Bengal CM as “Mamata the Destroyer” and alleged that it was “through her misdeeds” that the dignity of a woman, who was a doctor was destroyed.

“It is painful to say that Mamata Banerjee has become ‘Mamata the Destroyer’. What is she destroying? It’s important to know. Through her misdeeds, she has destroyed the dignity of a woman—a doctor who was serving society,” he said.

“She is a destroyer of the rule of law and a destroyer of evidence in this heinous crime,” Bhatia added referring to Mamata Banerjee.

Notably, this isn’t the first time since the August 9 incident that the BJP has attacked the Bengal CM and her party Trinamool Congress (TMC) over it.

On Sunday, Union Minister JP Nadda slammed Mamata Banerjee and her party for the incident, claiming that West Bengal under TMC is anti-women, anti-youth and anti-democracy.

“The Chief Minister has failed the people of the state, presiding over an administration which has looted with impunity,” he said, adding, “The iron grip has clearly rusted and rusted terribly.”

The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognisance of the case, and a bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra will hear the case on Tuesday, August 20.

On August 9, the body of the post-graduate trainee doctor was found in the RG Kar Hospital’s seminar room. Next day, the Kolkata Police arrested Sanjay Roy (33), who joined the force as a civic volunteer in 2019. Police have alleged that the accused was married at least four times and was a known “womaniser”.
