Governor of West Bengal (a BJP stalwart and a right wing Rajasthani clown) clashing with Mamata on war of words. How can this clown defy an elected Chief Minister of a state? Is it because she took a hard stance against CAA/NRC?
Time for people in WB to throw out these RSS Sanghi scum from West Bengal along with the Bihari, Gujju and Marathi business owners who sponsor them! Starve these a-holes and support our WB dadas who care about the future of a strong West Bengal.
I suggest Bangladeshi tourits travelling to Kolkata not to support these RSS supporter Gangu businessmen next time they go to Kolkata for either shopping, hotel stays or restaurants or medical tourism. Mamata should prepare a list of RSS supporter businesses and Bangladeshi tourists can not support these idiots. @AfrazulMandal and @Joe Shearer dada your thoughts.

"Unprecedented": Mamata Banerjee On Bengal Governor's "Abusive" Letters
The Governor responded, tweeting: "I find no substance in her version, both in fact and law" and also indicating that a fresh chapter will be written in this face-off, saying: "Reply will be sent as her letter has content to which I cannot subscribe"

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Governor Jagdeep Dhankar continue clash (File)
May 2, 2020
Mr Dhankar, however, also sought to play down the confrontation slightly given the coronavirus crisis, saying this was "no time to bicker" and calling on the Chief Minister to "focus on the grim situation and work in togetherness".
Earlier this week Mr Dhankar, in the second of a two-letter retort, accused Ms Banerjee of trying to cover up "monumental failures". He attacked the Chief Minister over what he called diversionary tactics and appeasement politics.
Ms Banerjee responded with a five-page letter reminding the Governor she was elected head of state and he was only nominated - a point she underlined in her second letter.
The Chief Minister quoted from three Supreme Court judgments to underline Mr Dhankar's status, pointing to a 2016 ruling in which the top court said "... not within the realm of the Governor to embroil himself in any political thicket. Governor must remain aloof from any disagreement, discord, disharmony... within individual political parties... Governor must keep clear of horse-trading".
At the end of the pointed letter Ms Banerjee told Mr Dhankar, in no uncertain terms, that he had limited powers to bring about any change and urged him to act "politely".

"In a nutshell... if you do not agree with my government... you may politely bring your grievance to my attention... if it still not resolved to your satisfaction, there is, unfortunately, no other power in you, so long as my government commands the confidence of the legislature," she said.
"Truth is always bitter but that is the constitutional truth," Ms Banerjee wrote.
The Chief Minister also urged the Governor to "desist from intensifying your efforts to usurp powers, especially during the humongous crisis which the nation and West Bengal are grappling with".
Bengal has reported around 800 COVID-19 cases and 33 deaths so far but the figures have been questioned by the Governor.
Across the country over 38,000 have been infected and 1,218 killed. The nationwide lockdown to break the chain of transmission, scheduled to end on Sunday, has been extended by two weeks.

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee hit out at Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday (May 2) and accused him of trying to usurp powers amid the coronavirus crisis. The Chief Minister asked him to desist from using official communications and logos on social media.
"Such 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. Your words against me and my ministers and officers can be described as vituperative, intemperate, intimidating and abusive," Mamata said in her 13-page reply to Governor Dhankhar.
Accusing him of preaching and sermonising constitutional norms without practising it and violating it, Mamata said the Governor may not agree with her policies, but unfortunately, he has no other power than bringing it to her notice, as long as the government commands the confidence of the legislature.
"I beseech you to desist from intensifying your efforts to usurp powers, especially at the time of crisis.... You should desist from using official communications/logos for your continuous tweets on social media," she said.
The scathing attack from Mamata came after the Bengal Governor shot off two letters to the Chief Minister accusing her of hiding details regarding coronavirus cases in the state, and simultaneously asking her to cooperate with the Inter-Ministerial Central Team, which has visited the state to assess the situation.
