Mamata Banerjee Threatens Resignation Amid Escalating Doctor’s Protest

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, in a surprising turn of events, has expressed her willingness to resign amidst the ongoing stand-off with protesting doctors in the state. The doctors’ protest, which began over demands for better working conditions and safety, has intensified, with several hospitals across the state nearly coming to a standstill.

Addressing the growing tension, Banerjee accused political interference in the matter, further suggesting that certain forces were deliberately aggravating the situation to destabilize her government. “If my resignation will help resolve this crisis, I am willing to step down,” Banerjee declared during a public address, adding that the well-being of the people of West Bengal remains her top priority.

However, the doctors have reiterated that their demands are purely professional and have denied any political motivations behind their movement. Many have expressed frustration over the lack of security and adequate infrastructure in hospitals, highlighting incidents of violence faced by medical personnel.

As the stand-off worsens, the state government is under pressure to find a resolution quickly. Medical services in major cities like Kolkata have already been severely impacted, and public outrage is mounting over the disruption. The opposition has also seized the opportunity to criticize Banerjee’s handling of the crisis, accusing her of failing to address the root causes of the doctors’ grievances.

Whether Mamata Banerjee’s resignation offer will lead to a breakthrough remains to be seen, but the ongoing crisis is testing the resilience of both the healthcare system and the state administration.
