New Delhi: Amid continuing uproar over the recent rape and murder of trainee doctor in Kolkata RG Kar Hospital, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s IT incharge Amit Malviya on Friday alleged that as many as seven rapes were committed against minor girl’s in West Bengal in last 48 hours. In some cases, murders also took place, he alleged further.
Taking to X, he wrote, “7 rapes (mostly minors) and in some cases murders too, reported from Mamata Banerjee’s West Bengal in last 48 hours. But in the last 48 hours, Mamata Banerjee has been engaged in every deplorable act, that a civilised Chief Minister would be ashamed of – from issuing open letters to clarifications, from threatening and abusing doctors to inciting nationwide arson.”
Mamata Banerjee is pre-occupied with suppressing evidence
“While the failed Home and Health Minister is preoccupied with suppressing evidences of her corruption and incompetence in the RG Kar rape and murder case, it is important to apprise her of the heinous atrocities unfolding in Bengal—atrocities she seems conveniently oblivious to. No doubt, Mamata Banerjee’s PR machine aka Bengal Police will be ready with their notices, dismissing everything as “mitthey rotona” and “birodhider sajano ghotona”, but here are the details,” he added further.

Sharing details of seven incidents, Malviya further alleged, “What is even more reprehensible is that instead of taking cognizance of these cases, the West Bengal Women and Child Commission has completely turned into the B-team of TMC, pleading the innocence of its supremo Mamata Banerjee despite all her failures. But, enough is enough. The awakened conscience of Bengal is now demanding accountability!”
BJP seeks explanation
Meanwhile, the BJP on Friday asked Banerjee to explain why she did not do anything to ensure the implementation of present “stringent” rules and regulations in the state to protect women in West Bengal.
“It is incumbent on Mamata Banerjee to explain why the West Bengal government hasn’t done anything for implementing the stringent rules and regulations, which exist for protecting women and girls,” BJP co-incharge for West Bengal Amit Malviya wrote in another post on X.
