BJP firebrand Agnimitra Paul unleashed a torrent of criticism against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, asserting that her government’s tenure has rendered women in West Bengal perpetually at risk. In a hard-hitting media interaction, Paul dissected the anatomy of insecurity plaguing the state.
She chronicled a decade-plus of deteriorating safety metrics, from surging FIRs in sexual offenses to underreported village-level abuses. ‘The TMC blueprint prioritizes power retention over people protection,’ Paul remarked, slamming the CM’s administration for botched investigations and lenient bail practices.
Key flashpoints included the BJP MP’s reference to orchestrated attacks on women protesters and the shielding of accused TMC leaders. Paul highlighted how fear stifles reporting, exacerbating the crisis.
Pushing for reform, she proposed a women-led safety task force, AI-monitored hotspots, and federal oversight. ‘Only a change in guard can restore faith in justice,’ she emphasized, invoking national icons to rally support.
Paul’s intervention, timed with mounting public discontent, bolsters BJP’s electoral arsenal. It paints Mamata’s rule as one of unfulfilled vows, challenging voters to demand security over status quo.
