Bengal Is Going From Wrong To Wrong: Governor Bose

In the wake of ongoing protests demanding justice for a young doctor allegedly raped and murdered at state-run RG Kar hospital last month, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has sharply criticized the state administration’s response to the crisis.

On Thursday, Governor Bose expressed discontent with the handling of the situation, stating that the West Bengal government is “going from wrong to wrong.” He underscored the erosion of public trust in the system as a catalyst for the massive protests that have erupted.

“What I see in West Bengal today, especially in administration, is going from wrong to wrong. They should realise that two wrongs, even if they are mutually contradictory, will not constitute one right. (The) government has to act and has to take people into confidence. Punishment should be given,” Bose remarked. He highlighted the growing sentiment among the populace that justice is no longer attainable through the current government, a view that has been vividly demonstrated through widespread demonstrations, including a candlelight procession held late into the night on Wednesday.

“People should feel that they can expect justice from the government. Now, the feeling is not there. That is what was reflected in the massive protest that culminated yesterday,” Bose added, reflecting the frustration and desperation felt by many in the state.

The protests, which have captured significant public attention, underscore the mounting discontent with the state administration's perceived inaction and the growing demand for accountability and justice.
