West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has criticised the Mamata Banerjee-led government
New Delhi: Governor of West Bengal CV Ananda Bose On Thursday, the state government headed by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee came under fire for the rape and murder of a 31-year-old postgraduate doctor in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital and also warned the Mamata Banerjee-led government “not to test the patience of the people”.
The West Bengal governor said the law exists but is not properly enforced. He said a section of the police force is criminalised and politicised.
“The parents (of the victim) have told me certain things which are very, very heartbreaking. They have also given me in writing that I have spoken to the Home Minister. Within two days, we started seeing action. We understand their feelings. What they also want is justice. The entire Bengali society is seeking justice. Justice will be done. Justice must be done,” said West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose.
“What I see in Bengal today, especially in the administration, is that it is going from bad to bad. They should realise that two evils, even if they are mutually contradictory, cannot make a right,” he added.
He also stressed that the Government must act and earn the trust of the people.
Vice President Ananda Bose slammed the West Bengal government, saying, “Wrongdoers must be held accountable and punished. People must feel that they can expect justice from the government now that feeling is gone. This is the current situation in Bengal – the law is there, but it is not enforced properly or some people are discriminated against under the law. Some of the police are criminalised, some are corrupt and some are politicised.”
He further warned the state government not to test the patience of the people: “That is where the people have come forward. I am sure that the voice of the people is the voice of God. People want action, not an alibi for action. Do not test the patience of the people.”
Earlier in the day, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) shared a letter purportedly signed by former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital Sandip Ghosh ordering renovation work near the college’s seminar hall, where the body of a 31-year-old post-graduate junior doctor was found on the night of August 8-9. The viral letter, dated August 10, orders the repair work just a day after the horrific incident.
Multiple media reports have suggested that Ghosh had ordered renovations near the seminar room, fuelling speculation about possible evidence tampering.
West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Mazumdar took to X to share a letter purportedly signed by Sandip Ghosh, ordering renovation work citing lack of proper and separate doctors’ rooms and toilets.
“The order, signed by Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College, is dated August 10, just a day after the victim’s death. Despite allegations from colleagues and protesters about tampering with the crime scene, the police commissioner denied it,” Sukanta Mazumdar said in a post on X.
