BJP seeks polygraph test on Mamata, Kolkata Police chief

Accusing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of shielding those involved in the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata, the BJP on Tuesday called her a “dictator” and demanded her resignation to ensure a fair probe into the matter.

The BJP has also demanded that the CBI conduct a polygraph test on Mamata and Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goel.

The BJP condemned the incident of lathi-charge by the West Bengal Police on the protesters.

“Whatever is happening in West Bengal is worrisome. It’s akin to tearing the Constitution to shreds,” BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia told a press conference at the party headquarters in New Delhi.

He accused Mamata of shielding those involved in the rape and murder case, and demanded that she immediately resign as the chief minister so that a fair probe into the case can take place.

“Truth must come out. The CBI is investigating the case. It should conduct a polygraph test on Mamata Banerjee and the police commissioner to ascertain the truth,” he added.
