Bharatiya Janata Party’s IT Cell Chief and West Bengal observer, Amit Malviya, criticized Trinamool Congress for nominating Menaka Guruswamy for the Rajya Sabha elections in the state. Malviya alleged that Guruswamy was rewarded by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for defending the former Kolkata Police Commissioner in a high-profile case.
Malviya expressed concerns about the nomination, stating that it sends a negative message to the public, especially in light of the RG Kar protest. He highlighted the public outrage and demand for accountability following the RG Kar Medical College rape and murder case, questioning the timing and implications of Guruswamy’s nomination.
Reflecting on the tragic incident, Malviya emphasized the profound loss suffered by the victim’s family and the impact on the medical community. He suggested that the nomination could be perceived as a provocation rather than closure for those seeking justice.
The Trinamool Congress recently announced its candidates for the vacant Rajya Sabha seats in West Bengal, including Menaka Guruswamy. The nomination has sparked controversy due to Guruswamy’s involvement in legal battles concerning the Chief Minister and recent ED raids, raising questions about the party’s decision-making process.
