Banerjee further said that the administrative and police officials whose resignations the junior doctors have demanded are not her “friends” — she needs “time to probe” them. Banerjee said this would be her last attempt to appeal to junior doctors.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday reached at the dharna site of protesting junior doctors. The TMC chief said that if the protestors could trust her, she would be ready to consider their demands, but she needs time.
“I have personally come here to you. My post is not a big thing. People’s posts are big. I could not sleep last night. I felt the pain. You were sitting on Dharna while it was raining last night… I, too, spent sleepless nights because I am your guardian,” said CM Banerjee, holding a microphone.
“If you return to work, I promise I will study your demands and talk to the officers. I will look into your demands with sensitivity. If you trust me, give me some time. I will take action against anyone guilty,” she said.

On Thursday, scheduled talks between the state government and junior doctors failed over the issue of livestreaming at Nabanna. While CM Banerjee waited inside Nabanna (the West Bengal government’s temporary secretariat), junior doctors stayed outside after the state government denied their demand for live streaming of the meeting.
