PM Modi also targeted the ruling government over crime against women in the state. He said, “Injustice is happening with the daughters in West Bengal, under the rule of the TMC government…Hospitals are also not safe for the daughters in West Bengal…TMC shielded the criminals in the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder incident.
