The alleged gangrape in Kolkata has triggered a political storm, with BJP MLA Shankar Ghosh demanding the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Ghosh believes the incident demonstrates the TMC’s true character and its approach to women’s safety. He pointed to the rising number of crimes against women in the state, holding Banerjee accountable. He also accused Banerjee of being too lenient in addressing such incidents, thereby encouraging criminals. Adding to the controversy, Ghosh criticized a statement made by Kalyan Banerjee concerning the incident, and demanded justice for the victim. The police have made arrests in connection with the gangrape at South Calcutta Law College.
