'Leave Parents Alone': Trinamool On 'Money Offer' To Kolkata Doctor Family

Amid the massive row over the serious allegations by the parents of the Kolkata doctor, who was raped and murdered at a state-run hospital, the Trinamool Congress today blamed "vulture politics" by the Opposition and doubled down on the charge that fake narratives are being created.

"A video has gone viral and it suggests that the parents were offered money by the police to hush up the case. In another video, the parents have said this allegation is false. They said they only want justice for their daughter. They are heart-broken. There should have been no politics here. Political parties should not bother them," state minister Shashi Panja told the media.

A massive row has erupted after the 31-year-old doctor's parents told the media yesterday that the police offered them money when their daughter's body was still at their home. It is not clear if this money was offered as a compensation.

Soon after, Trinamool supporters started sharing another video, in which the parents are asked if they were offered money in an attempt to hush up the case. "Nothing like this happened, we just want justice," they are heard saying.

The Trinamool today played the second video at their press meet and said the CBI's silence on the progress of its investigation has created a vacuum in which fake news and narratives are being manufactured. "Leading this fake news creation is BJP and its IT cell," she said. "We have earlier seen much talk about the post-mortem report too… sensational claims like 150 gm semen, this is injustice towards the victim."

"Twenty-three days have passed after the transfer of the case from Kolkata Police to CBI. There is no progress report from CBI. We demand that the CBI provide a detailed progress report of their investigation. When Kolkata police was investigating this, regular updates were given out through press conferences," state minister Bratya Basu said.

The ruling party, which is under fire over the shocking incident, questioned if the CBI has nothing in the rape-murder case apart from what Kolkata Police handed over. It also suggested that the focus of the central agency's investigation appears to have shifted from the rape-murder to financial irregularities, in which connection Dr Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital was arrested.

"The BJP has alleged that evidence was wiped off, why is CBI not coming out then and saying this?" Mr Basu asked.

The Trinamool leaders did not comment on the other allegations levelled by the victim's father.

The doctor's family has alleged that they wanted the body preserved, but police created so much pressure that they were forced to go ahead with the cremation.

"We wanted the body preserved, but so much pressure was created. About 300-400 cops surrounded us. We returned home and found some 300 cops were standing outside. They created such a situation that we were forced to cremate her," he alleged. He also said the cremation was rushed and the cost was not taken from the family. "My daughter went knowing that Bapi (father) could not even pay for this," the victim's father said. He also alleged that some police officers tried to get his signature on a blank sheet of paper. "I tore it up and threw it away."

BJP leaders have targeted the Trinamool over the father's allegations and said the police's role in the case has been exposed.

BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul said the parents' interaction with the media last night has "exposed the role of Kolkata Police". "And YOU Mamata Banerjee tried to suppress this case and protect the conspirators and deviate the direction of this case. You will be forced to answer the people of Bengal," she said in a post on X.

Jitendra Kumar Tiwari: The Controversial Political Journey

Jitendra Kumar Tiwari, a prominent political figure from Asansol in West Bengal, has recently found himself embroiled in controversy once again. Formerly associated with the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and now a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Tiwari's political trajectory has been marked by significant ups and downs.

Tiwari's latest controversy stems from allegations made by the TMC, accusing him of meeting a National Investigation Agency (NIA) officer to conspire against TMC leaders in exchange for money. These claims have been vehemently denied by Tiwari and the BJP.

Born in Asansol, Tiwari began his political career in 2006 with the TMC, contesting his first Assembly election from Raniganj. Over the years, he held various positions within the TMC, including mayor of the Asansol Municipal Corporation and TMC MLA from Pandabeswar. Tiwari's fluency in Hindi proved advantageous in Asansol, a region with a significant Hindi-speaking population.

In 2021, Tiwari switched allegiance to the BJP amid internal disputes within the TMC. He contested the Assembly elections on a BJP ticket but faced defeat. Despite this setback, Tiwari remains a key figure in Asansol politics, especially considering the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Recent events have further intensified speculation around Tiwari's role in the BJP's electoral strategy for Asansol. With the BJP yet to announce its candidate for the seat, Tiwari's name is circulating as a potential contender due to his local roots and Hindi-speaking background.

Amidst the unfolding political drama, Tiwari has threatened to file a defamation suit against those making allegations against him. He remains steadfast in his commitment to the BJP's cause in Asansol, emphasizing the electorate's support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi regardless of the candidate.

The unfolding narrative surrounding Jitendra Kumar Tiwari underscores the complex dynamics of regional politics and the evolving landscape of West Bengal's political arena.

BJP Faces Exodus as Leaders Depart in West Bengal

While the BJP celebrates the influx of prominent leaders from other states, West Bengal presents a contrasting picture, with key figures leaving the party fold. In a surprising turn of events, a sitting MLA and MP have defected to the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the past week, signaling a shift in political allegiances.

The departure of leaders like Jhargram MP Kunar Hembram and Ranaghat Dakshin MLA Mukut Mani Adhikari comes as a blow to the BJP, especially in regions where it had made significant inroads. Hembram’s decision to step away from politics, citing a focus on social work, raises questions about the party’s prospects in tribal-dominated areas like Jangalmahal.

Hembram’s victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls was hailed as a breakthrough for the BJP in a region long considered a stronghold of the TMC. However, the party’s failure to secure victories in subsequent Assembly elections has raised doubts about its sustainability in the state.

Adhikari’s defection, particularly significant given his stronghold in the Matua community, underscores the complexities of West Bengal’s political landscape. The Matua community, with its sizable population and influence, has been a key battleground for the BJP and the TMC, especially in light of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).

The TMC’s assertion that the exodus from the BJP signifies its decline in Bengal is met with skepticism from the BJP camp. Despite internal rifts and public dissent, party spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya remains confident in the BJP’s prospects, emphasizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity and the unwavering support of the people.

Nevertheless, the defections and internal discord within the Bengal BJP present challenges as the state gears up for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. The TMC, buoyed by recent gains and strategic acquisitions, sees an opportunity to capitalize on the disarray within its rival camp, particularly in North Bengal.

As the political landscape in West Bengal continues to evolve, the fate of the BJP hangs in the balance. With leadership transitions and shifting alliances shaping the narrative, all eyes are on the upcoming elections to gauge the trajectory of Bengal’s political future.

Kolkata, Nov 23:  Signaling a clear policy of retaliation in view of the successive arrests of the Trinamool Congress heavyweights in connection with various cases of alleged corruption, West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, on Thursday said that henceforth if four persons from her team were arrested she would ensure counter-arrests of eight in all cases already framed against them.

“Four of your legislators are behind bars now. They want to lessen our count through such arrests. Now if they arrest four of us, I will get eight of them arrested by reopening the old cases already registered against them,” the Chief Minister said while addressing an organisational convention of the Trinamool Congress at the Netaji Indoor Stadium on Thursday afternoon.

At Congress' "Black" Protest Over Rahul Gandhi, Trinamool's Surprise Entry

Trinamool sources said Prasun Banerjee and Jawhar Sircar will attend the meeting, scheduled for 10:30 am today.

New Delhi: In a rare feat of Opposition unity, the Trinamool Congress, which said it will remain equidistant from the BJP and the Congress, today joined the big strategy meeting in the office of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge. Prasun Banerjee and Jawhar Sircar represented TMC in the meeting, which discussed the Opposition strategy on Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from the Parliament. The party said the Opposition should be united, even though they are distancing themselves from a joint front on other issues.

Mr Kharge said that the Congress party welcomes anyone who strides forward to “protect democracy”.

“I thank everyone who supported this. That is why, I thanked everyone yesterday and I thank them today as well. We welcome anyone who comes forward to protect democracy and Constitution and safeguard the people. We extend heartfelt gratitude to the people who support us,” the Congress president said.

Congress MPs wore black shirts as a mark of protest over Mr Gandhi's disqualification. K Chandrasekhar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samithi, a rival of the Congress in Telangana, joined the “black shirt” protest along with Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray). After Rahul Gandhi's "not Savarkar" jibe at the BJP over its demand for an apology, Uddhav Thackeray had, on Sunday, warned him that demeaning Vinayak Savarkar would create “cracks” in the opposition alliance.

17 opposition parties -- INC, DMK, SP, JDU, BRS, CPM, RJD, NCP, CPI, IUML, MDMK, KC, TMC, RSP, AAP, J&K NC, and Shiv Sena (UBT) -- attended the meeting.

TMC shares an uneasy relationship with the Congress, which is part of the opposition, along with the Left, in Trinamool-governed West Bengal. The party had initially maintained a calculated silence on Rahul Gandhi's disqualification in a 2019 defamation case, even among widespread calls for a united opposition against the BJP's alleged targetting of opposition leaders. TMC has in the past avoided joining Opposition strategy meetings that Congress was part of.

TMC chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who has been a strong critic of the BJP, supported Rahul Gandhi.

“In PM Modi's New India, Opposition leaders have become the prime target of the BJP! While BJP leaders with criminal antecedents are inducted into the cabinet, Opposition leaders are disqualified for their speeches. Today, we have witnessed a new low for our constitutional democracy,” she had earlier said.

Ms Banerjee had earlier this month accused the Congress-Left combine of having an 'immoral alliance' with the BJP, and said that her party will not enter into any partnership with the two to fight for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Ms Banerjee claimed that the Congress, after having sought the “saffron camp's help”, should refrain from calling itself anti-BJP.

Congress has called Mr Gandhi's disqualification a “conspiracy” to silence Rahul Gandhi, who they say was making the PM and the BJP uncomfortable with sharp questions on the Adani-Hindenburg issue. Congress workers have been protesting across the country for the last two days. Party president Mallikarjun Kharge and top leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra have accused the government of “trying to silence” a “martyr's son”.

Asserting that the action against Mr Gandhi was lawful, and initiated by an independent judiciary, the BJP accused the Congress of protesting against the Constitution and the courts.

The move drew the Opposition's ire, which called the swift action by the Lok Sabha secretariat a “dictatorial move” and decried the “murder of democracy”.

Meanwhile, 14 opposition parties have approached the Supreme Court, alleging the misuse of central investigating agencies by the government. The top court will hear the case on April 5.

52-year-old former Congress president Rahul Gandhi was convicted by a court in Gujarat, PM Modi's home state, and sentenced to two years in jail for a 2019 speech in which he linked PM Modi's last name with two fugitive businessmen, remarking how the “thieves” shared the same last name. The court also granted him bail and suspended the sentence for 30 days to allow him to appeal to a higher court.

Rahul Gandhi's team has said they will challenge the verdict in a higher court. If the order is not cancelled, Mr Gandhi will not be allowed to contest elections for the next eight years.

पश्चिम बंगाल के राज्यपाल को दिल्ली तलब तृणमूल सरकार के साथ ताजा मेलजोल से भाजपा नाराज | The governor of West Bengal was called to Delhi, BJP displeased with most recent amity with Trinamool government;

भाजपा और टीएमसी के बीच एक राजनीतिक लड़ाई

बंगाली सीखने के लिए पश्चिम बंगाल के राज्यपाल के उत्साह ने भाजपा और टीएमसी के बीच एक राजनीतिक लड़ाई शुरू कर दी क्योंकि सत्तारूढ़ तृणमूल सरकार ने राजभवन के साथ अपने संबंध में संशोधन किया।

कोलकाता: मुख्यमंत्री ममता बनर्जी की मौजूदगी में मंच पर 'जॉय बांग्ला' (बंगाल की जीत) कहने के कुछ घंटे बाद पश्चिम बंगाल के राज्यपाल सी. वी. आनंद बोस गुरुवार देर रात नई दिल्ली पहुंचे. उनके राष्ट्रीय राजधानी में उपराष्ट्रपति और बंगाल के पूर्व राज्यपाल जगदीप धनखड़ और केंद्रीय गृह मंत्री अमित ��ाह से मिलने की संभावना है।

जहां तृणमूल कांग्रेस का दावा है कि यह एक निर्धारित बैठक है, वहीं भारतीय जनता पार्टी का कहना है कि पश्चिम बंगाल में सत्तारूढ़ तृणमूल सरकार के साथ ताजा मेलमिलाप के बीच समन आया है।

तृणमूल कांग्रेस और राजभवन (कोलकाता) में तलवारें चलीं

'राज्यपाल की संवैधानिक भूमिका होती है, टीएमसी के साथ उनकी निकटता राजभवन और टीएमसी कार्यालय के बीच की रेखाओं को लगभग धुंधला कर रही है। पूर्व राज्यसभा सदस्य स्वपन दासगुप्ता ने दिप्रिंट को बताया कि हमने अतीत में इसी तरह के आरोपों का सामना किया है और अब हम देख सकते हैं कि कैसे स्थितियां बदली हैं.

हाल ही में ममता बनर्जी की तृणमूल कांग्रेस और राजभवन (कोलकाता) में तलवारें चलीं। लेकिन आज, सी वी आनंद बोस के आगमन के साथ वह समीकरण पूरी तरह से बदल गया है। अपने पूर्ववर्ती जगदीप धनखड़ के विपरीत, बोस के ममता बनर्जी के साथ सौहार्दपूर्ण संबंध हैं, जिसने भाजपा को नाराज कर दिया है, जिस पर टीएमसी ने धनखड़ के शासन के दौरान राजभवन को पार्टी कार्यालय में बदलने का आरोप लगाया था।

शपथ ग्रहण समारोह के बाद धनखड़ के साथ मिलकर काम करने वाले वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों का राजभवन से तबादला कर दिया गया. इसमें सेना और भारतीय पुलिस सेवा दोनों के सहयोगी-डे-कैंप (एडीसी) शामिल थे। धाखर के साथ काम करने वाले अतिरिक्त मुख्य सचिव को उपराष्ट्रपति के कार्यालय में स्थानांतरित कर दिया गया, और कोलकाता में एक नए प्रमुख सचिव को तैनात किया गया। नए अधिकारियों के साथ, राजभवन (कोलकाता) ने एक नया अध्याय शुरू किया है, लेकिन बिना फेसऑफ़ के नहीं; केवल इस बार, यह भाजपा है जो साथ नहीं मिल पाई है.....
