New Delhi. Doctors on strike in Kolkata over a rape case have refused to meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The West Bengal government had called the doctors for talks following the Supreme Court’s order, but the doctors did not respond. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself reached the doctors for talks and waited for more than two hours, but the doctors did not come for talks. Mamata Banerjee then apologized to the people of the state and said, “I apologize to the people of Bengal with folded hands that we could not bring the doctors back to work.”
27 people died due to lack of treatment
The Chief Minister informed that 27 people have died so far due to lack of treatment in the state. He said, “I tried to talk to the doctors three times, but no meeting could take place. Now if there will be any talks, it will be with the Chief Secretary and other officials.”

Ready to resign: Mamata Banerjee

I am not greedy for power.” Mamata Banerjee also alleged that some people are getting instructions from outside not to negotiate.

I apologize to the public with folded hands.” Mamata Banerjee told that she waited for two hours for the meeting, but no doctor came to meet her.
