The tweet posted by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu condemning the Governor of West Bengal has caused controversy. The Governor of West Bengal replied, “The Assembly was adjourned at the request of the Government.” The BJP leader has been saying, “Chief Minister Stalin should apologize for this.”
The tussle between West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Governor Jagdeep Tankar continues. In this context, the Governor has exercised his power under Section 174 of the Constitution to suspend the West Bengal Legislative Assembly from the 12th of this month. This became a matter of debate across the country.
Pointing to this, AIADMK co-coordinator Edappadi Palanisamy speaking at the local election campaign in Salem said, “The Election Commission should pay close attention to the elections in Tamil Nadu. Stalin wanted to see what happened in West Bengal. The governor has paralyzed the legislature in the state. Similarly, in Tamil Nadu, if there are mistakes in the government, the governor may paralyze the assembly. The same situation could happen in the future. ‘
Responding to this, Hindu Charities Minister Sekarbabu said, “Edappadi’s day dream of paralyzing the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly will not come true. He has conveyed the will of the AIADMK to the Central Government through his speech. Following the situation in West Bengal, Chief Minister MK Stalin tweeted, `The action, rules and traditions of the Governor of West Bengal are against. The head of state should set an example to uphold the Constitution. The beauty of democracy lies in mutual respect for one another.
In this connection, the Governor of West Bengal Jagdeep Deepkar has replied to the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu MK Stalin. “Stalin’s comments on the West Bengal legislature are not true,” he explained. It was also informed that the next session of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly will begin on March 2 on the evening of the 11th. The meeting was adjourned at the request of the government.
Following this, BJP executives have been saying, “MK Stalin should apologize for misrepresenting himself.” In this connection, Tamil Nadu BJP spokesperson Narayanan Tirupati said, “Following the order of the Governor of West Bengal to adjourn the Assembly, there were rumors on social media that the Governor had paralyzed the Assembly against the Chief Minister. Following this, it was explained that the Governor had postponed the meeting on the recommendation of the State Government. But many have complained to the governor about their ignorance. ”
“It is surprising that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Stalin also condemned the governor on his Twitter page in this regard. It is shocking that the Chief Minister of a state has published such a record on the basis of rumor without knowing the procedure, law and rules. In this, the Governor of West Bengal has condemned the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for posting this without examining the real situation. Although it is natural for mistakes to be made, the Chief Minister who has registered without examining what is true, will only set an example for those who make such records by apologizing for the mistake, ”he said.
Explaining the controversy caused by the Chief Minister’s tweet to BBC Tamil, DMK Joint Secretary for Communications Rajeev Gandhi said, “This news has been discussed all over the country since last night.
However, the Governor of West Bengal did not give any explanation. In fact, no explanation was given until this morning. The ruling Trinamool Congress did not comment. In this matter, the DMK, which speaks of true democracy and state autonomy, is concerned. That is why the chief minister tweeted to the state governor that it was wrong to dissolve the assembly.
“It is anti-democratic to suspend a government elected by the people, even if the state legislature asks for it. The state government will now state how the Trinamool Congress government has asked for it. We see the governor’s use of his power to dissolve the government as anti – democratic. Something beyond the fact that the tweet is right or wrong should be discussed here. Our aim is to ensure that no mistakes are made in the Constitution. It’s not about blaming the governor. “
