"Eyewash by Mamata Banerjee.." BJP'S CR Kesavan on Bengal CM's announcement to remove Kolkata CP

Chennai: BJP National Spokesperson CR Kesavan on Tuesday accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of attempting to deflect responsibility in the tragic rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata by merely transferring senior police and health officials.
Following Banerjee's decision to remove Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, Deputy Commissioner North Abhishek Gupta, and two health officials, Kesavan said that the West Bengal government has not mentioned any suspension of the Kolkata Police commissioner from Government duty.
"The official minutes of the meeting yesterday has no mention of any suspension from Govt duty. It merely mentions transfers of senior Police and Health officials. A mere transfer is nothing but a ploy. It is an eyewash by Mamata Banerjee and the West Bengal Govt to dodge responsibility in the heinous rape and murder of the trainee doctor," Kesavan said.
On TMC claiming disagreement between the doctors, Kesavan said, "Whatever diversionary tactics they use, the buck clearly stops at the desk of Mamata Banerjee"
Kesavan questioned the transfer of former RG Kar Hospital principal Sandeep Ghosh, saying, "We saw what happened with Sandeep Ghosh. He was transferred after much public outcry, by transferring they meant promotion to Kolkata National medical college".
"Why the stealy silence by Mamata Banerjee? Why no action being taken against Health secretary? For justice to be given to the family and the victim, Mamata Banerjee needs to resign, submit herself to the investigation process," he said.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after meeting with the protesting junior doctors announced that she has agreed to most of doctors' demands -- the removal of Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Kumar Goyal and removal of health department officials.
"Given the demand of junior doctors, Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Kumar Goyal has said in the meeting that he is ready to resign," said Mamata Banerjee while addressing the protesting doctors on Tuesday.
She said Vineet Goyal would hand over the responsibility to the new CP at 4 pm on Tuesday, adding that her government has decided to accept demands laid down by junior doctors.
"We tried listening to junior doctors...we have decided to change the DC (Kolkata Police Commissioner)...he agreed to resign himself...in the health department, they demanded the removal of 3 persons and we agreed for 2. We have agreed 99%, what else can we do? We have requested the junior doctors to come back to work so that the common citizens won't suffer..." she said.
"... We have accepted 3 of their 4 demands... DC North (Abhishek Gupta) will also be removed and a decision will be taken about the new DC tomorrow. Apart from this, full attention will also be paid to the security of the doctors..." she added.
Doctors have been protesting the gruesome rape and murder of a trainee woman doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The victim was found dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9.
