KOLKATA: West Bengal governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday stirred fresh controversy by stating”self indulgent over public support” on main minister Mamata Banerjee bypassing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assembly to critique post-cyclone obligations on May 28.
Terming the sheriff’s remark”unlucky”, the ruling party in the country claimed that the ministry is included in public support 24/7 and her activities are prompted by her own consideration for the interests of their nation.
Dhankhar explained the ministry had phoned him up prior to the assembly at Kalaikunda at Paschim Medinipur district and also suggested that she will not attend it if pioneer of resistance Suvendu Adhikari is within it.
“Constrained by bogus story to set record straight: On May 27 in 2316 hrs CM @MamataOfficial messaged’could I speak? Acute’,” Dhankhar tweeted.
“Subsequently on telephone signaled boycott by officials & her of PM Review Meet #CycloneYaas in case LOP @SuvenduWB attends it.
Ego prevailed over Public support,” he explained in a different Twitter post.
Besides Adhikary, Dhankhar and BJP MP Debasree Chaudhuri were within the assembly.
The ministry said she’d skipped the meeting since”that a BJP MLA does not have any locus to be within a PM-CM assembly”.
Adhikari has conquered Banerjee at Nandigram chair at the recent assembly elections.
In a letter to the Prime Minister on Monday, Banerjee had written,”I wished to get a quiet word with you, a meeting between the PM and the CM as normal.
You, but revised the arrangement of this assembly to incorporate a native MLA from the celebration and I’m of the opinion he had no locus to become within a PM-CM assembly” Banerjee had mentioned in the correspondence which she had no objection to the existence of the Senate along with other Union ministers at the assembly.
Reacting to Dhankhar’s conversation, senior TMC pioneer and Lok Sabha MP Saugata Roy stated,”The governor doesn’t have any right to state such matters.
The CM is functioning around the clock to the sake of this nation.
She knows exactly what to do.” Mature TMC leader and say minister Chandrima Bhattacharya needed on Monday maintained the ministry had to wait around for 30 minutes to satisfy the Prime Minister on May 28.
“After he met himBanerjee submitted information concerning the damages brought on by cyclone Yaas and searched his consent to depart to get a pre-scheduled programme at Purba Medinipur district,” Bhattacharya had stated.
But following the Kalaikunda incident, a new Centre-state tussle was seen over the professional services of the then Chief Secretary Alapan Bandopadhyay, who’d followed the ministry to the assembly.
Afterwards on May 28, the Union administration delivered a letter into Bandopadhyay remembering him for central deputation.
Banerjee firmly protested, saying that it simplifies the Centre’s approval for expansion of Bandopadhyay’s providers since the CS by three weeks because of the cyclone and Covid position from the nation.
Banerjee delivered a letter to the Prime Minister on the matter on Monday and named Bandopadhyay as her main advisor for three decades, after letting him retire.
