Kolkata: Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Tuesday held the BJP responsible for the brutal murder of a Class 12 student inside a district hospital in Madhya Pradesh, describing it as a glaring example of “double-engine misgovernance.”
The horrific incident took place in the Narsinghpur area on June 27. A disturbing video of the attack, which later went viral, showed the assailant pinning the girl to the ground and slitting her throat while hospital staff stood by and failed to intervene.
Trinamool Congress on social media condemned the incident and said: “@BJP4India-ruled states are a LIVING HELL for women! In Narsinghpur, a Class 12 student was SAVAGELY MURDERED in broad daylight inside a government district hospital. Slapped, slammed to the ground, pinned down, and her throat slit, she bled out mere meters from doctors and guards who stood idly by.”
Attacking the BJP, the ruling party in Bengal, said: “@DrMohanYadav51 is an UTTER CATASTROPHE, presiding over a state where such barbaric crimes are normalised. And PM @narendramodi, the ENABLER-IN-CHIEF, bears the stain of this BLOODBATH.”
Highlighting Madhya Pradesh’s poor track record in ensuring women safety, Trinamool Congress quoting media reports stated: “The Madhya Pradesh has witnessed a nearly 20% spike when it comes to rape cases since 2020. That’s 20 women raped every single day!”
It further added that rape cases involving ST women surged by 26%, SC by 10%, OBC by 20%, General category by 24%. “Despite this epidemic, conviction rates crawl at a pathetic 22%, nearly 8 out of 10 rapists roam free,” Trinamool Congress stated.
Questioning the silence of the National Commission for Women, Trinamool Congress Mahila Wing president Chandrima Bhattacharya wrote on X: “A Class 12 girl brutalised & murdered in broad daylight in MP! @NCWIndia’s silence is DEAFENING! Is this how @BJP4India protects women, CM @DrMohanYadav51?”
Unmasking the hypocrisy, Trinamool leader Shashi Panja posted on X: “Another horrific crime in a @BJP4India ruled state, another woman failed! CM @DrMohanYadav51. Is women’s safety only a slogan for you?”
