RG Kar Victim's Mother Joins BJP

The mother of the RG Kar victim has announced her intention to contest the India — West Bengal Assembly election as a candidate for the India — Bharatiya Janata Party. She aims to challenge the ruling India — Trinamool Congress government, led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, whom she accuses of obstructing justice in her daughter's rape-murder case from August 2024. The victim's mother is likely to be fielded from the Panihati constituency. This move follows an earlier offer from the India — Bharatiya Janata Party, which she has now accepted. The victim's parents also allege that the India — Communist Party of India (Marxist) is tacitly supporting the India — Trinamool Congress government. India — Bharatiya Janata Party leader Arjun Singh recently met with the victim's parents.
