Prime Minister Narendra Modi intensified his attack on the Trinamool Congress (TMC) during a Bengal election rally, invoking the RG Kar rape-murder case. Sharing the stage with the victim’s mother—now a BJP candidate—Modi accused the state government of failing to protect women and suppressing justice. He said the mother “lost her daughter to TMC’s jungle raj,” highlighting the case as a symbol of law-and-order concerns. The 2024 murder of a trainee doctor had sparked nationwide outrage. The issue has now become a major political flashpoint, with BJP leveraging it to target TMC ahead of the high-stakes assembly elections. (PC: India Today)
