In its third list released for Bengal elections, BJP has made RG Kar Medical College rape victim's mother Ratna Debnath its candidate from Panihati. Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has expressed happiness over this decision of giving ticket to Ratna. He has said that Ratna Debnath becoming BJP candidate from Panihati is not just an election, but a loud voice of the daughters of Bengal. This is a message that women will no longer be suppressed. A mother's grief has now turned into a fight for justice for the entire state.
Pradhan further said that today his voice has become a big movement for the safety and respect of women. The way Mamata Banerjee and TMC government have failed to provide security to women, public trust has been broken. It is this negligence of the system that has left the voices of countless women unheard. This election is not just politics, but a decision of right and wrong. One mother's courage is now challenging this broken system, so that every daughter of Bengal can get security, accountability and a better future.
Ratna Debnath stepping into the electoral arena from Panihati with @BJP4India is not just a candidacy – it is a powerful assertion that Bengal's daughters will no longer be silenced. A mother's grief has transformed into an unyielding pursuit of justice.
Her voice has now grown
