Patients in West Bengal are suffering due to lack of treatment but the deadlock between doctors and Mamata government is not coming to an end. On Saturday, Mamata Banerjee suddenly reached the protest site i.e. State Health Building to meet the doctors who have been on strike for 35 days. During this, Mamata once again played the emotional card. The CM told the doctors that she has not slept for 34 days. She is not greedy for the post of Chief Minister. Having a post is not a big deal but being a human is a big deal.
She spoke her mind to the doctors for about 7 minutes and asked them to end the protest with the assurance that all their demands would be considered. After this, she called the doctors to her home for talks. The doctors even went to the CM residence, but were adamant about live streaming the meeting. In the end, this second attempt of Mamata's talks also failed.
The Chief Minister told the doctors that I am not greedy for a post. I have come here because I believe your movement is right. I myself have emerged from the student movement. I have also endured a lot during the student movement. I know that my post is not a big deal. Being a human is a big deal.
The CM told the doctors that it rained all night yesterday (Friday). You people were in pain, I too could not sleep the whole night. I too am in pain. I am suffering mentally. It has been 34 days now and I too have not been able to sleep at night. When you are on the road, I have to stay awake to guard you.
Mamata further said that you have suffered a lot in this rain and storm, natural disaster. Just don't suffer any more. If you want to return to your work, I assure you that whatever your demand is, I will study it after talking to you. I will talk to the officials. I don't run the government alone. The Chief Secretary, Home Secretary and DGP are also with me. I will discuss with them. If someone is guilty, he will definitely be punished.
Mamata said many important things in her emotional appeal to the doctors. Mamata said that she has come among them without security. She is neither worried about her position nor about herself. Perhaps this is why Mamata told the doctors that she has come among them today not as CM but as Didi and repeatedly reiterated that she is not worried about herself but only about the doctors sitting on strike amidst the painful sun, storm and rain.
Due to this worry, she has not slept for the last 34 days. Mamata announced that she herself will preside over all the principals appointed under the Rogi Kalyan Samitis of all the hospitals. In the end, Mamata also promised the doctors that she will discuss all their demands with the officials.
On one hand, Mamata is saying that she is not greedy for the post but is only concerned about the doctors on strike. On the other hand, the doctors have made it clear that they cannot take a decision on the spot on the emotional assurances given by Mamata. They will take their time. They will take their decision only after considering the promises made by Mamata. The doctors have 6 demands - which include getting justice by completing the investigation soon, removing the Health Secretary and the Kolkata Police Commissioner, besides strict security in hospitals and health centers.
At the same time, BJP is continuously cornering Mamata government. It is accusing Mamata of suppressing the movement. Also, it is calling Mamata's visit to the protest site today a drama. BJP MP Samik Bhattacharya said that the CM reached the protest stage today. If you want to talk, there is Swasthya Bhavan right in front. The Chief Minister herself is the Health Minister. Call her to Swasthya Bhavan. Listen to her demands.
On September 12, a suspicious bag was found at the venue. Although the bag was searched and nothing was found, people started questioning who had placed the bag at the protest site and why. The mystery of the bag was not solved yet and TMC leader Kunal Ghosh released an audio clip. According to Kunal Ghosh, in this audio of a conversation between two left leaders, there is a talk of an explosion at the protest site. On the basis of this conversation, the police have also arrested Democratic Youth Federation of India leader Kalatan Dasgupta.
Now the question is being raised whether any conspiracy is being hatched against the doctors? Is an attempt being made to end the protest by putting pressure on the doctors? Did Mamata play the emotional card so that she could save her chair?
