There was more trading of fire between the Raj Bhavan and Nabanna (State secretariat) with Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar once again attacking the Mamata Banerjee Government for running a police state drawing strong reactions from the Trinamool Congress quarters which hit back saying “he is the worst Governor we have seen in our State.”
Bengal was a specific case of “collapsing rule of law” the Governor on Monday said alleging “ruthless killing of the opposition workers.” Dhankhar who had earlier fought several letter wars with the Chief Minister said adding the State Government was currently “leaning on the crutches of police” which should otherwise have been used for safeguarding human rights.
As the “administration and law and order has totally collapsed” the Government “on the crutches In Bengal the “administration and law and order has totally collapsed,” and there was an express need for the Government to run without police crutches the Governor said hours after the reports of the Raj Bhavan’s request for additional budgetary allocation being turned down by the State Government became public. “Today the administration is in servitude and virtually crawling,” the Governor said asking the officials to come out of the clutches of the political bosses.
