Kolkata: Trinamool Congress is likely to move the movement in Rajya Sabha against the Governor of Bengal Jagdeep Dhankhar in the upcoming budget session.
This step may not produce any results – Trinamool only has 13 parliamentarians in Rajya Sabha – but the senior party said they wanted the problem of “Raj Bhavan to behave like BJP headquarters” to discuss nationally.
The party will also be very opposed to every amendment proposed by all-Indian service rules.
Trinamool Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Ray on Thursday said the party brought “substantive movement” against the governor in parliament.
This movement allows problems to be debated at Rajya Sabha and also has provisions for vote, said the elderly Trinamool.
Ray’s proposal came during a hybrid meeting held by the head of the party and Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Thursday.
If Trinamool continues his decision, it will only be the second time in recent decades that the Governor of Bengal has faced such a step.
CPI Rajya Sabha MP Bhupesh Gupta has brought a similar movement against the Governor of Dharma Vira after a turmoil of the dismissal of Ajoy Mukherjee-LED Government in front of United in 1967.
Dhankhar assumed the cost in Raj Bhavan in July 2019.
He has had a rocky relationship with Trinamool, repeatedly accused him from “misrule”; And Trinamool continued to accept him to behave more like a BJP leader than a governor.
