In a post on X, the Union Minister said, "There has been a complete systemic failure in West Bengal time and again. But the blame lies on 'Bam and Ram'. Absolutely disgusting, shameful and reprehensible statement from Mamata Didi. The day is not far when Mamata Didi will even blame aliens and extraterrestrials for her misrule".
"With appeasement politics as her fulcrum of politics, Mamata Didi still has to take refuge in Lord Ram to cover her abysmal failures. Justice needs to be delivered and perpetrators need to be dealt with the harshest punishment. There can be no room for politics on the horrific rape and murder of the junior doctor. Mamata Didi's attempt to cover up, stifle dissent and shield perpetrators raises serious questions. Expecting the safety of women, speedy trial, justice and impartiality from her is out of the question," he further stated.
