BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul Slams Mamata Govt Over Women’s Safety in West Bengal

By A Staff Reporter

KOLKATA: BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul has launched a scathing attack on the Mamata Banerjee government, accusing it of failing to ensure the safety of women in West Bengal. Referring to the recent RG Kar case, she alleged that law and order in the state had deteriorated, leaving women vulnerable.

“Mamata Banerjee's police know how to stop women BJP workers, but they do not know how to provide security to women. Today, no one is safe in West Bengal,” Paul said while addressing the media on Friday.

She also criticized the Chief Minister’s response to the RG Kar case, where Banerjee reportedly suggested that women should avoid working at night. “After the RG Kar case, Mamata Banerjee had said that women should not work at night… There is no security in West Bengal. Anything can happen to anyone here,” Paul added.

Paul, along with other BJP leaders, staged a protest against the state government’s handling of women’s safety. The demonstration comes amid growing political tensions in Bengal, with the BJP frequently accusing the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) of misgovernance and lawlessness.

Meanwhile, TMC leaders have dismissed these allegations, claiming that the opposition is politicizing the issue to target the government. However, with increasing reports of crime and political unrest, the debate over law and order in West Bengal continues to intensify.
