State BJP president Sukanta Majumdar launched a severe attack on the TMC government on Tuesday, condemning the rape and murder of a doctor and alleging corruption in the healthcare sector. Majumdar claimed that the people of West Bengal would seek the ouster of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during Durga Puja.
