Centre behaving like Hitler, Stalin : Mamata Banerjee on chief secretary row Anupam Mishra
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday upped her ante against the central government saying it was behaving like Adolf Hitler and Stalin , the two former leaders from Germany and USSR (Russia) respectively, known for their dictatorial regime.
Mamata Banerjee made these remarks at a press conference in Kolkata after granting the retirement request of Alapan Bandopadhyay, the West Benghal chief secretary who became a flash point for fresh tussle between the Centre and the Trinamool Congress government in the state.
West Bengal s top bureaucrat, Bandopadhyay was subsequently appointed special advisor to Mamata Banerjee for a tenure of three years. Hari Krishna Dwivedi, an IAS officer of the 1988-batch, was appointed as the West Bengal chief secretary.
"She is indulging in politics even as the people of state are reeling under crisis caused by the cyclone and the COVID-19 pandemic. We know how she entered the meeting room, where the PM was present, how she talked, and then left with the chief secretary," the BJP leader stated.
The Centre has issued a notice recalling West Bengal chief secretary Alapan Bandyopadhyay to Delhi after he and Mamata Banerjee didn’t attend a cyclone review meet with PM Modi
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday appealed to the BJP government at the centre to "stop this political vendetta" for the sake of the people. This comes a day after her row with PM Modi over a cyclone review meet.
