A damning indictment of West Bengal’s ruling dispensation came from BJP’s Agnimitra Paul, who proclaimed women categorically unsafe during Mamata Banerjee’s entire term. At a packed rally, Paul laid bare the systemic failures that have turned the state into a nightmare for half its population.
Her narrative wove through years of governance lapses: delayed justice, witness tampering, and a culture of impunity fostered by TMC heavyweights. ‘Mamata’s Bengal is not just unsafe—it’s hostile to women seeking redress,’ Paul declared, citing examples from Kolkata streets to remote villages.
The spotlight fell on emblematic cases like the RG Kar rape-murder and pervasive gang rapes in opposition strongholds. Paul accused the Didi government of prioritizing political loyalty over public safety, with police postings dictated by party allegiance.
Amid escalating tensions, Paul outlined BJP’s roadmap: empowering women through self-defense programs, tech-driven surveillance, and unbiased policing. She contrasted this with TMC’s record, where promises like ‘Kanyashree’ coexist uneasily with rising violence stats.
Paul’s oratory, blending outrage and policy, resonated deeply, positioning her as a vocal advocate. As Bengal eyes future elections, her message amplifies the narrative of a state adrift, urging a course correction for safer tomorrows.
