With the phenomenal “social distancing” between the Trinamool Congress Government and Raj Bhavan reaching embarrassing levels Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has told the Centre that all is not well in Bengal.
Meeting Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi the Governor has said that the situation in the State is “worrisome.” Earlier before meeting Shah, Governor tweeted that he “would be discussing with Union Home Minister at noon today West Bengal worrisome situation.”
He further wrote “state of affairs and affairs of State … Welfare of people of West Bengal is ever uppermost in my mind. All my actions are inspired to mitigate woes of WB people.” He also said that he would discuss his constitutional duties as the Governor provided under Article 159 of the Constitution.
The Governor who said that he would “devote myself to the service and well-being of the people,” had earlier been called by the Centre for discussions on the affairs of the State.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Governor had been at loggerheads ever since he took charge last year. Things repeatedly came to flash point often the two constitutional heads bumping into each other in public functions and refusing to take note of the opposite side.
