TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee is nowhere to be seen in the political turmoil that has been going on after the rape and murder of a female doctor in Kolkata. Questions are now being raised about his silence. At the same time, speculations are being made that all is not well in TMC. At the same time, many leaders have also raised questions on the attitude of the administration regarding the murder and then vandalism in the hospital by doing RG. At the same time, the leaders are also not happy with the silence of TMC National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee on this entire incident.
TMC leader Kunal Ghosh wrote on Twitter on Saturday, “The Left and Congress are conspiring. We will fight under Mamata Banerjee. We need to correct some mistakes. We will fight but Abhishek Banerjee also needs to be active.” Let us tell you that on the day the incident of vandalism took place in the hospital, Abhishek Banerjee had said on Twitter that whoever is responsible for the incident should be arrested. He wrote, “Hooliganism and vandalism in RG Kar have crossed all limits. As a public representative, I spoke to the Kolkata Police Commissioner and said that whoever is responsible for the violence should be arrested within 24 hours. People associated with any political party should not be spared in this.”
He had said that the demands of the protesting doctors are right. Their safety should be given priority. However, when a rally was taken out under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee demanding the death penalty for the accused, Abhishek Banerjee was not seen in it.
Did differences arise after the Lok Sabha elections?
Experts say that after the Lok Sabha elections, there have been some differences among the leaders. TMC’s performance in urban areas was not good. Abhishek Banerjee said that those who are not performing well should be removed. Later he went for an eye checkup. He does not seem to be as active in the party as he speaks for his Lok Sabha constituency in Parliament. His differences with senior party leaders are not hidden.
Now assembly elections will be held in West Bengal in 2026. In such a situation, TMC will face the big challenge of 15 years of anti-incumbency. Only good governance can bring success to the party once again. At the same time, the mistakes of the administration can put the party in trouble. While talking to the media, Abhishek had said that the central government should bring a law so that such culprits can be hanged.
Experts say that Abhishek Banerjee is not happy with the behavior of party leaders and that is why he is not active in the party. In the case of RG Kar Hospital, many leaders have questioned the government. Shantanu Sen had questioned the hospital’s principal Dr. Sandeep Ghosh. At the same time, Kunal Ghosh also made sharp comments on the government and said that Sandeep Ghosh should be dismissed from the post immediately. He had said that TMC has made some mistakes. When its own leaders commented on the TMC government, BJP also got an opportunity to attack.
