Governor-Mamata clash continues: Press secretary removed

The tussle between West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and the Governor is expected to intensify again. The governor removed his press secretary Shekhar Bandyopadhyay from the post.

Of late, after the Raj Bhavan event, such questions have started to emerge in administrative circles. Similarly, in February last year, the governor removed Nandini Chakraborty as his principal secretary. There was a lot of tension between the Nabanna State Secretariat and the Raj Bhavan regarding this incident.

The question naturally arises, is Governor CV Anand Bose trying to send a message to Nabanna by removing the press secretary? Because the Governor's confrontation with the West Bengal government over the recently concluded panchayat elections has come to the fore again and again.

The governor had many controversies with the state government over decisions such as setting up a peace room at the Raj Bhavan and sometimes setting up a peace reconciliation committee headed by a former judge. The governor also raised questions about the administrative activities of the state government, from visiting violence-hit areas to holding press conferences during panchayat elections. they are.

On the other hand, the state government ministers also attacked the governor. In such an environment, does Bose want to send a strong message to Nabanna by removing the state government-nominated press secretary? Such questions are the subject of discussion in the political circles of the state.

Shekhar Banerjee was sent from the Information and Culture Department to the post of Press Secretary to the Governor. According to sources in the administration, he has returned to this duty. Immediately after the panchayat elections, Governor Bose went to Delhi to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah and then whether the press secretary was released.

Significantly, in January this year, out of the three names sent by Nabanna, CV Anand Bose himself chose Shekhar as his press secretary. In such a situation, the question arose of the decision to suddenly relieve him of this duty.
