Kolkata: Facing flak over the alleged rape and murder of a medical student in RG Kar Medical college and hospital, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said she would have ensured capital punishment if her government had the power to do so. Banerjee made the comment while addressing an event of TMC student’s wing in Kolkata.

Here are top points of Mamata Banerjee’s address.

If state govt had power, we would have ensured capital punishment for accused in doctor’s murder within 7 days.
BJP’s bandh aimed at defaming West Bengal. The BJP is plotting conspiracy to derail probe into RG Kar hospital rape-murder case.
I support doctors rally. They should go back to work. People from lower class are sufferings due to doctors strike. I will take no action against you for the protest. But I request you to join action. The supreme court has said that state can take action against doctors. So I request them join services. But if govt files FIR, their (doctors) career will be doomed.
I went to thier (victim) house with Police Commissioner. I asked them for 5 days time. I asked 5 day for justice, but before that CBI probe was ordered. Actually, BJP never wanted justice, they want to do politics.
Who came yesterday for protest. Why they stone pelted Raj Bhawan gate. Are they BJP, don’t they know Kolkata? We will find out everybody. When doctors did strike, I supported them. In Delhi FIR filed against doctor, here we did nothing.
We will bring law in West Bengal where trial will end in 10 days. And will send that to governor. If governor does not pass it, dharna will start in front of Raj Bhawan.
BJP govt has encountered the Assam accused, to prove law exists. Why so fast? Recently you have lost 4 by elections. In Maharastra and Kerala, bandh is illegal, then why is it legal in West Bengal. Lawyers hereare silent.
BJP is so torturous. This party is full of torture. BJP should do bandh against PM. For UP, Assam, Rajasthan Gujarat, Maharastra, PM has not taken a single responsibility.
We dedicate this day to those who have suffered torture and suffered loss. BJP called bandh intentionally to do politics on the dead body. They are trying to hijack doctors protest. BJP has torched buses, attacked police brutally. Rail travel is delayed.
