West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress are intensifying their response to ongoing protests, targeting demonstrators and doctors. Protests over the rape-murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College have persisted for over a month. Banerjee, initially supporting protests, now accuses them of causing public inconvenience and blames striking doctors for patient deaths at government hospitals. The Trinamool Congress has shared videos alleging neglect by doctors. Amid mounting public anger and internal party dissent, including Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sircar's resignation, Banerjee is facing significant political pressure.
