New Delhi [India], August 15 : Janata Dal-United leader KC Tyagi on Thursday condemned West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's "Vaam and Ram" remarks and said that the TMC chief does not deserve to be the chief minister of the state.
Earlier today, the West Bengal Chief Minister alleged that the Left is in connivance with the Ram (the Bharatiya Janata party) to create unrest in West Bengal.
"I strongly condemn the statement made by Mamata Banerjee. She does not deserve to be the chief minister of a state like West Bengal," Tyagi told ANI.
The Bengal chief minister said that the mob were not connected to the student movement and alleged that "they are BJP people" who created a ruckus inside the emergency ward of the hospital.
"Left and Ram want to create unrest in Bengal and they both have come together to do this," She said while referring to the vandalism at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata on Wednesday.
"The people who vandalised RG Kar Hospital yesterday and created this ruckus are not connected to the student movement of RG Kar Medical College, they are outsiders, I have seen as many videos, I have three videos as I can see, in which some people are holding national flags, they are BJP people, and some are DYFI are holding white and red flags," CM Banerjee said.
On Wednesday night, a mob entered the RG Kar Hospital campus, causing damage to the protest site, vehicles, and public property. Security officials were forced to intervene to disperse the crowd.
Banerjee also praised the police for their restraint during the incident, stating, "Yesterday, police were attacked; among them was one Deputy Commissioner (DC) who was there for security purposes, and two Officer-in-charges (OCs). For one hour, they couldn't be found, and when they were found, they were unconscious and were seen blood oozing out from their heads. I informed the police at 3 am and had them taken to Apollo Hospital... I would like to congratulate them that they did not lose patience, they did not hurt anyone."
"Now the case is not in our hands, it is in the hands of CBI, if you have something to say, then tell CBI, we have no objection...," Banerjee added.
On August 9, a post-graduate trainee doctor was found dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The victim's family has alleged that she was raped and murdered. This incident has triggered a nationwide protest by doctors and medical fraternities.
