May 10, 2022About five CBI investigations have been ordered against the state government in the last two weeks. The latest is the alleged gang rape and murder of a minor at Hanskhali. The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed senior IPS officer Damayanti Sen to oversee the investigation into four recent cases of rape that were reported in West Bengal.
April 14, 2022"Mamata Banerjee's crass comment on the rape and murder of 14 year old girl in Hanskhali is not just abhorrent but also steeped in gross illegality. Sexual intercourse with a minor is rape. It is a crime. Her murder is a crime. Bengal CM shamed the victim and defended the accused."
April 12, 2022“Will you call this rape or was the girl pregnant or was it a love affair or was she ill or did something else happen to her? What has happened is not right. I condemn it. The incident happened on 5 April but why was the police complaint not lodged immediately? As there was doubt about the cause of her death then why was she cremated in haste on the same day without informing anyone? How will the police investigate now?”
April 12, 2022The state government will set up a Drug Laboratory to check the sale of fake drugs. Miss Banerjee also asked the transport department to arrange old buses for serving as Sufal Bangla outlets.

April 8, 2022“Price hike is skyrocketing in the country and people are struggling. The central government has no planning at all. It is your (the Centre’s) work to chalk out strategies to reduce price hike and solve the related issues. If they want, I can provide my suggestions. It is a burning issue in the country. Everything has become pricy,”
April 7, 2022“The Centre has no plans to deal with the fuel-price hike. The BJP is responsible for this crisis; it’s their return gift to the country after winning the Uttar Pradesh elections,”
April 5, 2022Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, currently on a tour of North Bengal, is said to be concerned about the inter-party violence inside the House primarily because it conveys an unpalatable signal about the state-of-affairs in West Bengal. The timing of the violence is unfortunate because it occurs on the eve of the Bengal Global Business Summit.
April 1, 2022“The government should see that whenever an investigation is ongoing anywhere in the world, there should be no interference from political parties or from anywhere else, so that it can be free and fair. Party interference at this moment is misuse and abuse of power and will lead to a distorted investigation. People will lose confidence in it,”
March 31, 2022The five-member fact-finding committee of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has submitted its report to JP Nadda on Wednesday.
March 30, 2022Miss Banerjee called upon the opposition to resist the ruling BJP’s intention to misuse the central agencies with the sole intent of suppressing opposition leaders. She claimed that central agencies get jolted to action whenever there’s state or general elections round the corner.
March 30, 2022“Already cliff-hanging governance in the state, from the perspective of Constitution and law, has recently been further strained by horrifying incidents of barbarity #RampurhatViolence and in the hallowed precincts of the West Bengal Assembly.”
March 30, 2022"The economy has gone down, and we should lift it up," she said, reiterating that elections to the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA), panchayat and the three other hill municipalities would be held, and that the elected representatives should do good work.
March 30, 2022“In the heat of summer when labourers, students, farmers are protesting on the road against the central government’s erroneous policies that have led to unemployment, inflation and poverty, Mamata Banerjee is on a summer vacation in the hills in Siliguri. She has issued circulars, opposing the two-day strike and proved that her stance is that of the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS)"
March 29, 2022According to the CM, the track record of the central investigation agency was not satisfactory.
