KOLKATA: Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Monday said she had blocked governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Twitter to protest against his “unconstitutional and unethical acts” that were encouraging “BJP goondas” to kill TMC workers.
The remark was made hours after TMC MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay approached President Kovind in Parliament with a request to remove Dhankhar from Bengal governor’s post. State Congress chief Adhir Chowdhury supported the demand.
Dhankhar was quick to respond. “Mandated under Article 159 of the Constitution to ensure none in the state ‘blocks’ constitutional norms and rules of law and those in authority, bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution,” he tweeted.
Banerjee said she was forced to block him on Twitter. “His acts are instigating BJP goondas to kill our workers,” the CM said, referring to the killing of a TMC member near Barrackpore on Saturday.
She also alleged that he was using Raj Bhavan to “snoop on Bengal and tap phones”. “Pegasus is being run from Raj Bhavan. We have an all-India Pegasus there (Delhi),” she said. “We have Pegasus in Delhi, here we have a super-paharadar (super guard) in Bengal.”
She said she had asked PM Modi many times to “remove this governor”. “An elected government has become bonded labourers to a nominated governor,” Banerjee said, alleging that Dhankhar was denying civic services to people of Howrah and Bally.
