Kolkata: Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Monday called the Governor of the State of Jagdeep Dhankhar “A corrupt man”, claimed that he had not been released from his relationship with the fraud of Hawala 1996 and urged the media to examine “whether there was a chargesheet or not” (in this case ).
Banerjee also accused Dhankhar by trying to “divide Bengal”, referring to his meeting with the “separatist leader” and BJP leaders demanded separate states in North Bengal during Darjeeling’s visit.
He had written three times to the center to “remember Dhankhar”, he said, urged Delhi to release the “ego” and “consider” his petition.
“He tried to disturb peace in North Bengal.
He called and met the separatist leaders.
He urged them to launch protests.
Is this the governor’s job?” she says.
“He went to Delhi for three days and then went to Gurgaon before heading to North Bengal,” Banerjee said.
“Why did he choose to tour North Bengal suddenly? Who did he meet: BJP MPS, MLAS and the President’s Block?” He added.
“Why will the governor like that will be sent here? Is the only central government work to disturb the state government? Can’t they digest, tolerate, accept their defeat? They use ED and CBI.
All of this disturbs people when the pandemic goes up,” he was said.
Banerjee was described on the accusation of his “Hawala”: “someone sent me this.
There was a pine but they went to court and got their name cleaned.
However, pill petitions or writings have been submitted.
This is delayed.” Responding to Dhankhar’s accusations that there was a lack of transparency in running the Gorkhaland territorial government (GTA) and his request to audit by CAG, Banerjee said: “He must be examined first.” He then lifted a series of questions: “How many people go with him (to Darjeeling)? How much money is spent on this visit? What happens at the governor’s house? Who are the people who meet him regularly? All of this must be first checked.
Internal audit has been done on GTA.
Why can’t the country investigate this? Why are they so angry with Darjeeling? “” This is a dictatorial governor.
He dictates everyone, from the highest authority in the state to the officer.
He called officers and said: ‘You are under the scanner.’ He called and said: “You are under threat.” Who is he to say all this garbage? I have maintained silence until now but forced to talk.
I will meet him if it is called and will respond to his call.
This is my property.
There is a constitution too.
And there are duties and responsibilities.
I can’t accept that he will continue to say whatever he wants, will continue to do whatever he wants, “CM said.
Then, TMC responded to Dhankhar’s press conference, reminded him that the governor was only “Magnificent Cipher”.
