Bengal Guv Bose criticises CM Mamata Banerjee for failing to send a technical report on Aparajita bill
West Bengal Governor Ananda Bose has criticised Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for failing to send a technical report along with the Aparajita Bill passed by the State Assembly. As per rules, the government is duty bound to send a technical report before a decision is taken on giving assent to the bill.
The Raj Bhavan admonished Nabanna (State Secretariat) against allegedly misleading the people to cover up the lapses of the State government. «This is not the first time that the government has withheld technical reports and blames Raj Bhavan for withholding the bills,» a statement by Raj Bhavan said.
The Governor has taken swift action on the Aparajita Bill and admonished the Chief Minister. According to the statement, «The governor has pulled up the Chief Minister for failing to send the government's technical report on the bill, which is mandatory under the rules. He has admonished the government and told them to do their homework in important matters like this.»
The Governor has reportedly also pointed out that the Bengal Bill appears to be a copy paste of the similar bills passed by Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Arunachal Pradesh, while claiming that the Chief Minister also knows that some of these bills are awaiting the assent of the President of India.
«Mamata Banerjee is threatening Dharna only to hoodwink the people of Bengal. Governor took strong objections to such inept gimmicks at such a critical juncture in Bengal's contemporary history.» according to the statement.
