NEW DELHI: Accusing West Bengal government of being complicit in destroying evidence and shielding culprits in Kolkata’s
RG Kar hospital
rape-murder, BJP on Monday alleged that it was being done at the behest of state chief minister
Mamata Banerjee
, who should resign from her post immediately.
“Mamata Banerjee has become Mamata, the destroyer. We demand her resignation.
By her misdeeds, she has destroyed the dignity of a woman, a doctor who was serving society. She is the destroyer of the rule of law and evidence in this heinous crime which is vital to ensure that the accused get the punishment that they deserve,” said BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia at a press conference
The party also slammed leaders of the opposition INDIA bloc, including the Congress’ Rahul Gandhi, and called them “political vultures”, alleging that they “generalised” the trainee doctor’s rape and murder by expressing a general concern over such cases reported in different parts of the country, including those in BJP-ruled states.
While the CM did not take concrete steps to ensure a swift probe into the “possibility” of gang-rape and murder of the medic, she got crucial evidence of the heinous crime destroyed, he charged.
“And see the brazenness of shameless Mamata, the destroyer. She took out a march in Kolkata while the entire country was embarrassed by the gruesome incident of rape and murder… She should immediately resign (as chief minister),” the BJP functionary said.
“There is no law and order in West Bengal. There is complete disorder in Mamata Banerjee’s head,” he said.
“Prima facie, unruly TMC (Trinamool Congress) goons had entered the medical college. They wanted to destroy the CCTVs so that all facts (evidence) are destroyed,” Bhatia alleged.
Hitting out at the INDIA bloc leaders, the BJP spokesperson accused them of expressing general concern over cases of rape and murder in the country, including those in BJP-governed states.
“RG doesn’t stand for Rahul Gandhi anymore. It stands for ‘rajnitik giddh (political vulture)’. He put the entire country to shame, first by his deafening silence (on the Kolkata rape and murder case) and then by an absurd tweet to indulge in vulture politics. He tweeted about BJP-ruled states but did not comment on the INDI alliance-ruled states,” he said.
