KOLKATA – Amid growing concerns over spiraling crime, CPI(M)’s Gargi Chatopadhyay Tuesday decried West Bengal’s law enforcement as ‘in shambles.’ In candid remarks to journalists, she accused authorities of indifference, behaving like helpless bystanders.
The focal point of her ire: security deployments fixated on protecting CM Mamata Banerjee at the expense of statewide policing. This has emboldened felons, making the state a magnet for wrongdoers, per Chatopadhyay.
She lambasted the handling—or lack thereof—of terrorism and notorious cases like RG Kar, questioning the government’s commitment. ‘Criminals feel secure here; no one can touch them,’ she said, directly implicating the top leadership.
In a bold claim, Chatopadhyay pointed to TMC-BJP complicity sabotaging voter list integrity. ‘They’re united in ruining our state,’ she charged, as CPI(M) gears up for mass demonstrations against federal meddling.
Her forthright assessment captures the zeitgeist of discontent, pressing for accountability and robust measures to reclaim order in a beleaguered Bengal.
