The Trinamool Congress, at an all-party meet in Delhi on Sunday, urged Union minister Amit Shah to “call” West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar and to “show him the way”.
After the meeting – in which Trinamool Congress’ Sudip Bandyopadhyay and Derek O’Brien were present – the leaders said that the Governor was running a parallel administration, he was moving around with CRPF and not informing the state police. Bandopadhyay added that this was contrary to the federal structure and that the Governor should be called and shown the way. It is likely that the Trinamool Congress will raise the matter during the ongoing Parliament session.
Meanwhile, the Governor today asked how he could run a parallel administration when no police officials were present at places he visited. He also said that it is wrong to bring petty political issues in everything and asked the Trinamool Congress-run state government to keep faith on Indian Constitution and to believe in the rule of law.
