There is no sign of abating the agitation over the rape and murder of a young woman doctor at RG Kar Medical in Kolkata. This incident has created a strong resentment against the state government in the minds of the common people. Due to which the discomfort is increasing in the Trinamool government.
But many say that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is a Janu politician. His strategy to win a losing match. The way Mamata took the initiative to talk to the agitating junior doctors and then waited for 2 hours for the meeting and finally offered to resign was a ploy.
Recently, in a press conference, the Chief Minister apologized to the common people of the state and demanded justice. Said, I agree to resign. I don’t want the Chief Minister’s chair. I want Tilottama to get justice, common people get justice.
Earlier, a video of the conference hall at the Navanna meeting hall came to light. Where Chief Minister Mamata is seen sitting alone. Empty chairs around. Waiting for meeting with junior doctors. This image can also be called a trick.
Indian media say junior doctors are on strike. On the pretext of talking to them, the Chief Minister of the state has started a game to win the sympathy of the people. The meeting of junior doctors with the government on Thursday collapsed at the last minute. Mamata waited for 2 hours. But the junior doctors did not join the meeting in the end due to non-compliance.
The video of Mamata waiting for the young doctors and the empty chair in the meeting room has come to light, Indian media outlet Aztak Bangla reported. Which is very meaningful. The chief minister argued that since the matter is under trial, it was not possible for junior doctors to comply with the conditions of live streaming. In the meeting, 15 junior doctors were offered to stay, but later 32 were allowed to comply with their demands.
However, the meeting eventually broke down as the demand for live streaming was not met. Mamata had to wait for 2 hours to leave. And in this whole episode, the government side tried hard to portray the protesting doctors as villains.
According to a media report, Mamata has a ‘Brahmastra’ (a power that ends everything) in her hand. That is the victim card. Whenever he feels that all weapons have failed, he draws the victim card. And attack the opponent with that weapon. Mamata used this victim card weapon against the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The Trinamool supremo went on a rampage over misuse of central agencies and targeting of Bengal. At that time, Mamata also picked up this weapon during the CBI’s raid on the then Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar’s house. Sat on metro channel in Dharmatala.
Mamata has started using the victim card weapon in this atmosphere as the tone of protest against RG activities is intensifying. The Chief Minister apologized to the people of Bengal for the deadlock. Besides, requested the doctors to return to work. Again he said to the junior doctors, I have forgiven them. Because they are too small.
Why did Mamata have to use Brahmastra?
Such a public awakening against the RG tax case has never been seen in West Bengal before. As days go by, the intensity of the movement is increasing. Dissatisfaction has also grown within the ruling party. The protests show no signs of stopping. Even before Mamata government has been accused of covering up the rape case, all those problems have been solved like magic. But the Trinamool leadership is unable to understand what to do in the rape case. Discontent is also growing among party workers. So far at least 4 major leaders of Trinamool have opposed it. Despite all this, he is trying to save his most beloved police commissioner by offering to resign, Indian media claims.
