BJP Demands Mamata Banerjee's Resignation Over Rape-Murder Case

The BJP has called for the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of destroying crucial evidence linked to the rape and murder of a medic in Kolkata. The party also criticized the leaders of the opposition INDIA bloc for generalizing the incident and failing to address such crimes adequately.

The BJP has urged West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to step down, accusing her of obstructing justice in the rape and murder of a medical trainee in Kolkata. The BJP claims Banerjee facilitated the destruction of key evidence to protect the perpetrators.

In a contentious press conference, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia alleged that Banerjee's actions have compromised the investigation and painted her as a destroyer of women's dignity and constitutional law. Bhatia criticized opposition leaders, labeling them 'political vultures' for broad-stroking the incident nationwide.

The case, now under CBI investigation, saw a civic volunteer arrested and protests erupting after the trainee doctor's body was discovered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Banerjee's response, including a controversial march, has further fueled the BJP's calls for her resignation.
