‘Haven for Criminals’: BJP Blasts Mamata Over Rape of 7-Month-Old Baby

Raising his voice against the horrific Kolkata rape of a seven-month-old baby, BJP West Bengal President Sukanta Majumdar has lambasted Mamata for the lack of safety for women, pointing out how even a 7-month-old baby is not safe in the state under the TMC government. 

In a post on ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter), Sukanta Majumdar said, "Under Mamata Banerjee's rule, even a 7-month-old infant isn't safe. Kolkata, once a city of culture, is now a haven for criminals. While the police guard the 'Crown Prince of Kalighat,' women and children face unspeakable horrors. Is this the 'safety' Didi boasts about?"

The toddler has been admitted to the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital where she is under treatment, he said.
