In a significant move ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded Ratna Debnath, the mother of the trainee doctor who lost her life in the shocking RG Kar Hospital incident in Kolkata. The decision has drawn widespread attention and sparked political discussions across the state.

In its third list of 19 candidates released on Wednesday, the BJP announced Ratna Debnath as its candidate from the Panihati constituency in North 24 Parganas district. The party’s move is seen as an attempt to reflect public sentiment and highlight the emotional impact of the incident during the election campaign.
