Divya Delhi: Kolkata Doctors Used Mamata's Strategy to Remove Top CopMamata Banerjee's approach of politics is bringing issues to the streets, which helped her overthrow the Left administration after 34 years in 2011. West Bengal's chief minister has never backed down from a battle until now. In 2024, street politics returns, but the chief minister is on the losing end when state physicians protest the violent rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital. The physicians' 35-day strike and seven-day dharna pushed Banerjee to replace the Kolkata commissioner of police, North Kolkata deputy commissioner, Director, Medical Education (DME), and Director, Health Service (DHS), all protestors' requests. Sources say the administration was reluctant to replace key officials but caved under pressure. The chief minister and junior physicians met for two hours on Monday, ending about midnight. Over two hours of meeting minutes followed, reminding Banerjee that he was losing this time. After the horrible tragedy at the state-run hospital on August 9, physicians accused hospital and police officials of covering up the crime, sparking enormous demonstrations. They wanted better doctor security.
