Five TMC MPs sent a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday demanding the immediate removal of West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar, who has been on a collision course with the Mamata Banerjee-led government over a host of issues since he took over the post last year.
“We submit that the Governor has failed to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and repeatedly breached law declared by the Supreme Court. From the seat of the highest Constitutional office in the state, Governor Dhankhar has been inducing divisive politics, just because ruling parties at the Centre and state are political opponents,” the memorandum read.
“He is sitting tight and refuses to sign a number of Bills passed by the West Bengal Legislative Assembly,” it further said. The memorandum, drafted by TMC MP Sukhendu Sekhar Ray, was backed by MPs Sudip Bandyopadhyay, Derek O’Brien, Kalyan Banerjee, and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar.
