“Interestingly, she has now placed her trust in West Bengal police and the Kolkata police for ensuring the safety and security of women. Well Madam, good to see reality finally sinking in!” the party added.However, the BJP’s top leadership quickly distanced itself from Paul’s statement. West Bengal BJP president Sukanta Majumdar clarified that her comments were her personal opinion and not the party’s official position.Meanwhile, the BJP hit back at the TMC over a controversial remark made by Trinamool MLA Madan Mitra in connection with the alleged rape incident. Speaking to the media, Mitra had said, “If that girl hadn’t gone, this wouldn’t have happened. If she had informed someone or taken two friends along, this could have been avoided.”BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya condemned Mitra’s statement in a post on X. “This is victim-blaming, plain and vile. TMC has once again chosen to slander the woman — not support her — just to shield a close aide of Mamata Banerjee’s nephew. Let it sink in: No woman is safe from these TMC predators. And the less said about the likes of Madan Mitra in TMC, the better. Mamata Banerjee isn’t just complicit — she is the problem,” he wrote.
