Bengal Governor accuses Speaker of not providing info sought on bill
The Hindu
Denying Mr. Dhankhar's accusations, the Speaker said that full cooperation was provided whenever any information was sought for
In a fresh round of confrontation between two constitutional functionaries in West Bengal, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar accused Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee of not providing information sought on Howrah Municipal Corporation amendment bill, while the latter claimed that assent to the bill was unnecessarily being withheld.
Claiming that this was not the first such instance, the Governor said that he is yet to receive information sought from the Speaker on other issues, too, since 2019.
"It is most unfortunate that the speaker of the Assembly continues to ignore the Constitution and sense of propriety," Mr. Dhankhar said after visiting Ganesh Banerjee, brother of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, at the State-run SSKM hospital in Kolkata, where he was admitted on Sunday after complaining of chest pain.
