She also asked him to not dream of a dyarchy in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Dyarchy (also spelled diarchy), is the system of double government that had been introduced for the provinces of British India. \u201cAny student of Bengal\u2019s history knows how the colonially engineered scheme of Dyarchy in the 1770s destroyed the political economy of Bengal. Your conduct, statements and letters from Day 1 remind the people of Bengal of those dark days of dyarchy in Bengal\u2019s 18<sup>th<\/sup> century history,\u201d Banerjee\u2019s letter to the Governor stated.<\/p>\n<p>Reiterating the respective roles of the Governor and the chief minister, Banerjee highlighted the limitations of the power of the former and added that \u201ctruth is always bitter, but this is the harsh constitutional truth. If you are unable to reconcile to this reality, <em>you should have chosen my seat instead of yours<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her letter, the CM listed some of the words and phrases the Governor had used for her and the government in his two earlier letters such as:<\/p>\n<p>*\u201cthere has been an outrageous, flagrant disrespect of constitutional prescriptions\u201d<\/p>\n<p>*(that I am) \u201ca law unto oneself\u2026 (running the state) like a fiefdom\u201d<\/p>\n<p>*(my) \u201centire strategy is crafted to deliberately divert people\u2019s attention from (my) abject failure in combating and containing Coronavirus in West Bengal\u201d<\/p>\n<p>*(my) \u201cappeasement of the minority community\u201d<\/p>\n<p>*\u201ctheatrics or politicking\u201d<\/p>\n<p>* \u201cantithetical to democracy and you practice it\u201d<\/p>\n<p>* \u201claw unto oneself\u2026 bravado mode of collision\u2026state\u2026 run like a fiefdom\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Banerjee said that \u201csuch words and such communications of such content, tenor and tone from a Governor to an elected CM are unprecedented in the annals of Indian constitutional and political history\u201d. She said that words used by the Governor about Banerjee and her ministers and officers have been \u2013 \u201ceven with maximum restraint can only be described as vituperative, intemperate, intimidating, abusive and insulting\u201d. She said that such words have never been used by any Governor against any CM at any time in the country\u2019s history since the Constitution came into force.<\/p>\n<p>She said she was \u201cmore sad than angry\u201d about it, but added that she was also amused. Banerjee in the letter listed some of her \u201cfavourite ones\u201d that the Governor had used against her \u2013 and said while there was \u201cinbuilt irony\u201d and \u201chumour\u201d in the words, but \u201cpreaching without practice and sermonising while violating, does not behove of you or your office\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Banerjee highlighted that she is a \u201crepresentative\u201d of the people while he was \u201cnominated\u201d, and explained their respective roles. She quoted from Supreme Court judgments to explain the Governor\u2019s role. She wrote that if the Governor that if he doesn\u2019t agree with the government, finds that the state is not being run \u201cas you like it\u201d, and \u201cfind wrong decisions, wrong appointments, wrong policies, wrong everything\u201d, then he should \u201c(politely) bring your grievance to my attention\u201d instead of writing to officers, departments, ministers, media etc, and \u201cIf it is still not resolved to your satisfaction, there is, unfortunately,<em> no other power in you, so long as my Government commands the confidence of the Legislature<\/em>\u201d. She added that even if the Governor disagrees or dislikes any decision, \u201c<em>you are obliged to sign and accede to the State Government\u2019s wishes, subject, where applicable, to your SINGLE right of referral back<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She also reminded the Governor \u201crespectfully, but firmly\u201d of restraining himself from using tweets of official communication on \u201ccontinuous tweets in the social media\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the end Mamata Banerjee also said that she reserves the right to not reply to the Governor\u2019s \u201cadjectives\u201d, since her time should better be utilised to fight the pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You should have chosen my chair if you are unable to accept the reality of the limitations of the Governor&#8217;s chair, said Banerjee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":279,"featured_media":9339,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[98,49,301,108],"adace-sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-9418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-bengal","tag-governor-jagdeep-dhankhar","tag-mamata-banerjee","tag-west-bengal-government","tag-west-bengal-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
