The mother of the victim in the RG Kar rape and murder case has expressed a desire to contest the upcoming assembly elections from Panihati constituency in North 24 Parganas.
She claims to have received an offer from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) long ago but had not made up her mind at the time.
The mother stated that she has decided to contest to ensure justice for her daughter and safety for all women in the state.
She also accused the CPI(M) of tacitly helping the Trinamool Congress (TMC) after using her daughter's death to gain political mileage.
However, the BJP's list omitted the Panihati seat, leading to speculation that the party might make a decision later.
The CPI(M) state secretary denied the allegation, stating that the party stood by the family during the incident.
