Demanding the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee over vandalism at Kar Medical College and Hospital, the Bharatitya Janata Party (BJP) said its women`s wing will hold a candlelight rally to her residence on Friday in protest.

Alleging that law and order has "failed" in the state, BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar said that the saffron party will also hold a sit-in demonstration near Kar Medical College and Hospital, where a woman postgraduate trainee doctor was raped and murdered last week, leading to huge protests.
