The mother of the victim of the rape and murder case of RG Kar Medical College in West Bengal has expressed her desire to contest elections on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket. On Thursday (March 19, 2026) she said that she wants to contest the Bengal Assembly elections as a BJP candidate.
He said that his motive behind contesting the elections is to adopt the political path to remove the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government. In August 2024, a trainee doctor was raped and then murdered in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The doctor was 31 years old at that time. This incident had created outrage in the entire country.
Doctors and civil society groups had held prolonged demonstrations across the state to protest against the incident. The mother of the victim doctor told reporters that she is likely to contest from Panihati constituency of North 24 Parganas, and the BJP will soon release a candidate list in which her name is likely to be included.
The victim’s mother said that she had earlier received an offer from BJP, but she was not mentally prepared at that time. She said, ‘I had received an offer (to contest elections) from BJP long ago, but I was not mentally prepared at that time. Yesterday I decided to accept it and contest the elections because I want to end the Home Minister’s rule. He said this while referring to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who also holds the charge of the Home Department.
The victim’s mother alleged that the state government has tried to obstruct the investigation and justice process in her daughter’s case. She said, ‘I am entering politics to ensure justice for my daughter and remove this government from power.’ BJP leader Arjun Singh had recently met the parents of the victim doctor.
