Mamata Offers To Resign Over Junior Docs Protest

Doctors reached the gates of the state secretariat but refused to participate in talks unless the proceedings were live-streamed

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said she was “ready to resign” for the “sake of people” and expressed regret over the junior doctors’ refusal to come for talks to resolve the impasse over the R G Kar rape-murder case.

Banerjee, who waited for nearly two hours for the agitating doctors to come for the meeting, said she also wanted the victim to get justice, and apologised to the people of West Bengal for the continued deadlock.
