Mamata Banerjee’s Party Faces Differences Over Kolkata Doctor’s Rape-Murder Case; Questions Arise About Abhishek Banerjee’s Whereabouts

West Bengal : As doctors across India continue to protest the rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, internal conflicts within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) have become increasingly visible.

There is growing speculation about the party’s stability and whether these internal issues are affecting its response to the ongoing crisis.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee are both under scrutiny. As the party leader, Mamata Banerjee is under pressure to address the widespread public outcry and manage internal disputes. At the same time, Abhishek Banerjee’s noticeable absence from the party’s daily activities during this critical period has raised concerns.

His silence and lack of involvement in party affairs amidst the heightened political tension in Bengal are prompting questions about his role and the party’s overall coherence.

The lack of unified leadership and effective communication within the party may hinder its ability to manage the crisis and respond to the growing demands from both the public and the medical community. This situation underscores the need for clear and cohesive leadership to address the challenges facing the TMC and to effectively engage with the serious issues raised by the protests.
