RG Kar CBI Probe:  A Modi government minister demanded the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, saying that she must quit if she can not handle the law and order situation in the state. Launching a scathing attack against TMC supremo over RG Kar doctor rape and murder, Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said that Mamata, being a woman, should be 'ashamed' of the brutal rape and murder of a young doctor.

Speaking to a news agency, Manji said: "A serious crime has been committed against a woman and the Supreme Court itself is taking cognisance of it. She (Mamata) should be ashamed as she is also a woman and Chief Minister."

"Law and order is a state subject and if she (Mamata) cannot handle it, then she should leave it and resign. She should stop blaming other people. The people of India have understood what she wants to say," he added.
