Mamata Government Changes Police Commissioner Of Bidhannagar Four Times In Four Days
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee
The Mamata Banerjee led West Bengal government has changed the police commissioner of Bidhannagar four times in four days, Hindustan Times has reported.
The police department of the state which is being headed by the Chief Minister, reinstated Gyanwant Singh to the post on 26 May after he was removed by the Election Commission of India prior to the seventh phase of Lok Sabha voting.
Just a day later (27 May), an order was issued for replacing Singh with Nishat Parvez who was the Deputy Inspector General (operations) Bengal Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
Similarly, the police commissioner of Barrackpore City was changed twice in four days.
Opposition party leaders have claimed that these transfers are a result of “extreme panic” by the Mamata government.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
