TMC Rajya Sabha MP Santanu Sen said the Governor's latest act of sending confidential letters at midnight stems from his wish to be in the "good books of BJP with an eye on a plum posting in New Delhi as a reward".
"The Governor is destroying the State's higher education sector by violating all rules, statutes and constitutional provisions. Despite the State pointing out the anomalies in his action, he appears nonchalant and has adopted a confrontationist stance because of the support of BJP," Mr. Sen said.
TMC State spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said that the Governor's penchant to becoming hyper-active at midnight hours requires notice.
"It is clear he is acting at someone's behest and is not listening to anybody else," he said.
