'TMC created Sandeshkhali in every corner of Bengal’, Malviya alleges another incident of ‘women's harassment’
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal of another incident of exploitation and harassment of women beneficiaries at a government office in the Patashpur Assembly constituency. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya shared pictures of the alleged incident, which reportedly involved the local MLA Uttam Barik. Malviya criticized the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government for creating a culture of exploitation similar to the one seen in Sandeshkhali, and questioned how such incidents could happen under Mamata Banerjee’s leadership.
According to Malviya, the incident took place when the MLA was distributing government benefits under various schemes, and he claimed that the legislator was seen manhandling women at the program. Malviya also highlighted that the MLA had shared pictures of the alleged harassment on his Facebook page, and questioned how he could boast about such behavior.
In his criticism of the state administration, Malviya expressed disbelief that such incidents could occur under Mamata Banerjee’s watch, and warned other women to stay alert in the wake of such public humiliation.
The BJP’s accusations add to the ongoing criticism of the TMC government in West Bengal, which has faced backlash for the alleged molestation and sexual harassment of several women at Sandeshkhali in North 24 Parganas district.
The incident has once again highlighted the concerns about the safety and well-being of women in the state, and has fueled criticism of the leadership and administration. The TMC has not yet responded to the allegations made by the BJP.
It remains to be seen how the Mamata Banerjee government will address these accusations and what actions will be taken in response to the allegations of exploitation and harassment of women beneficiaries in the Patashpur Assembly constituency.
The BJP’s allegations have reignited the debate about women’s safety and the role of the government in addressing such incidents, and have intensified the political tensions between the BJP and the TMC in West Bengal.
The situation is developing, and further updates are expected as both parties continue to respond and react to the allegations and criticism.
