The parents of a young doctor, who fell victim to a brutal rape and murder, have announced they will back the BJP in the forthcoming assembly elections in West Bengal. Ratna Debnath, the victim's mother, has been nominated by the BJP to contest from Panihati, challenging the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC).

The decision marks a defining shift, aiming to use political change as a means to ensure justice and enhance safety for women in the state. Ratna had contemplated various political opportunities but opted for the BJP, aligning with its promise to eradicate TMC's 'misrule' and address violence against women.

Enraged by the pace of the ongoing investigation, Ratna and her husband voice their determination to fight for justice and fulfill their daughter's dream to serve the underprivileged. Their choice to enter the political arena is driven by belief in substantial change and accountability in governance.
