Congress Demands CM Resignation Over Satara Doctor Suicide Case
The Congress party is very upset about a doctor who died in Satara.
They believe she was forced to die because of bad things happening at her job, like people pressuring her, trying to trick her, and being mean to her.
The Congress party is saying this was a kind of 'institutional murder.'
They want the main leader of the state, the Chief Minister, to resign because they think he should have prevented this.
They also want a special team to investigate everything to find out who was really responsible and make them face justice.
The Congress also criticized a Women's Commission for not helping the doctor's family and instead, they say, saying bad things about the doctor who died.
Congress labels the death of a Satara-based woman doctor as 'institutional murder'.
The party demands the resignation of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
