South Dinajpur (West Bengal) [India], August 15 (ANI): West Bengal BJP president Sukanta Majumdar on Thursday alleged that vandalism at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital was an attempt to destroy evidence.
Majumdar claimed that 2,000-2,500 goons entered the medical college late at night, beating and threatening doctors, while police remained silent.
He also attacked the Trinamool Congress-led government for failing to maintain law and order in the state saying “If a state government is unable to maintain law and order in its capital, then it has no right to remain in power.”
“There is no law and order in West Bengal. 2000-2500 goons barged into the medical college late at night. Doctors were beaten up and threatened, the police remained silent.
