West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has blocked the Governor of the state Jagdeep Dhankhar on the microblogging site Twitter.
Banerjee accused Dhankhar of abusing her and her officers. Talking to journalists she said that she apologise for blocking him in advance because he was using Twitter to treat the elected government like bonded labour.
She said, “He was every day abusing me or my officers. Says unconstitutional, unethical things. He instructs not advises. Treats an elected government like bonded labour. That's why I have blocked him from my Twitter account. I was getting irritated," Banerjee at a news conference, said.
It is believed that Banerjee’s action was prompted by certain remarks that the governor made on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s death anniversary.
While launching an attack at the West Bengal government, he had tweeted, “I cannot see the hallowed land of Bengal getting blood drenched (in violence) and becoming a laboratory for trampling of human rights. People are saying that the state is turning into a gas chamber of democracy. "
He had also mocked the rule of law in the state saying that only ruler rules in West Bengal and there is no rule of law.
"There is no rule of law in Bengal. Only the ruler rules here. It is my responsibility to protect the Constitution," he said, adding that no amount of "insults" will deter him from performing his "duties",” he had said.
Mamata Banerjee and Jagdeep Dhankhar never shared any cordial relationship and the current action will take their relations to a point of no return.
