West Bengal CM Bengal claimed that she never offered money to the deceased doctor's family and the allegations are nothing but slander. "I have told the parents that if they wanted to do something in their daughter's memory, our government is with them. I know when to speak what," Banerjee said.
Banerjee, who also oversees the Home Department, revealed that Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal had offered to resign in response to the ongoing protests. However, she declined his offer, stating, "We need someone who understands law and order, especially with Durga Puja approaching." The Bengal Chief Minister also appealed to the junior doctors to resume their duties as soon as possible.
On the other hand, the BJP demanded Bengal CM's resignation. Bharatiya Janata Party leader Gaurav Bhatia on Monday alleged that the Trinamool chief is standing with the rapists instead of standing with the family of the victim, adding that the head of the entire India's democracy has bowed in shame.
"Questions that the SC has asked Mamata Banerjee, the CJI said there was at least a 14-hour delay to register the FIR. Does Mamata Banerjee still want to continue as West Bengal CM?... She should resign so that a fair investigation can be conducted. If during the investigation evidence shows that she was careless and also involved in tampering with the evidence, then her polygraph test should be conducted, and her arrest could be imperative to ensure that there is justice given to the family members of the victim and every citizen of the country," he added.
The body of a woman doctor was recovered from the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. The postgraduate trainee doctor was allegedly raped and murdered while on duty in the health facility. The incident triggered a nationwide protest.
