West Bengal: Trinamool Takes Shot At Governor Dhankar, Accuses Him Of Political Bias And Interference
Trinamool general secretary Partha Chatterjee
The apparent rift between West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar and the ruling Trinamool Congress widened on Tuesday, with Trinamool Congress Secretary General Partha Chatterjee accusing him of making "politically biased statements" and "interfering in all respects of government business."
Chatterjee, who is also the state education minister, said the Governor should not misuse his constitutional jurisdiction and avoid political gimmicks.
"The new Governor, within 15 days of joining has exposed himself that he is not a neutral person, by making politically biased statements against the government officers and government departments," said Chatterjee.
Chatterjee said as per the Indian Constitution, the state and central governments were both elected bodies, but the Governor's was a nominated post, adding that the roles of the Governor and the state government were clearly earmarked.
