Mamata Banerjee running West Bengal Govt like a private company: Raman Singh

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Former Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh on Sunday (Feb 17) alleged that the West Bengal government is being run like a private company by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, creating an atmosphere of fear and threat in the state.

He also said the West Bengal government has violated all democratic norms by misusing powers and is “running a syndicate” in the state.

“Mamata Banerjee has broken all political ethics and running her government by creating an atmosphere of fear and threat. Going by the situation in West Bengal, it seems that there are only two people –Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee are leading the government like a private company,” Singh told the media persons.

Referring to Banerjee’s recent dharna to protest CBI’s action against Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar in connection with the Saradha chit fund probe, he said that such an incident had never happened in the history of the country, and democracy in West Bengal is being violated by misuse of power.

“When the CBI, as a part of its investigation into the Saradha scam, called up the police commissioner, it comes under attack and its officers are arrested.

“What Mamataji did here is the biggest example of a violation of democracy in the country’s history by the misuse of power. These types of incidents show that syndicate raj is being operated in entire West Bengal,” Singh claimed.

Referring to alleged incidents of violence and killings during last year’s panchayat elections in West Bengal, Singh said that human rights were violated, and law and order deteriorated in the state.

“West Bengal has become a centre of human trafficking, arms smuggling and fake currency production. People are entering the country under total guidance and assistance of the state government and getting citizenships,” the former Chhattisgarh CM said.

On Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu’s comments on the Pulwama attack, Singh said the cricketer-turned-politician would never be pardoned by the country.

“I can say that he (Navjot) has hurt the sentiments of the people of the country. I think the country will not pardon Sindhu,” Singh said.

Sidhu had on Friday condemned the Pulwama terror strike that claimed the lives of 40 CRPF personnel but wondered if entire Pakistan should be held responsible for terrorist activities patronised on its soil.

Additionally, the social media cell of the Uttar Pradesh Police is also on high alert to track unlawful elements that may try to spark a riot. Furthermore, a magisterial investigation into the death of Mukhtar Ansari will be carried out by a three member team, reports said.

Delhi lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena today sought a detailed probe from Delhi Police commissioner Sanjay Arora in relation with the alleged defamatory social media post made by Congress’s Supriya Shrinate against actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

Reportedly, BJP candidate from New Delhi Bansuri Swaraj had given a complaint to the LG seeking probe and registration of an FIR against Shrinate for outraging the modesty of a woman. Subsequently, the Delhi LG has forwarded the complaint to the Delhi Police Commissioner, directing a scientific investigation in the matter and initiation of legal action, if necessary.

Reports said that the Delhi Police will also investigate who was behind the said social media post and whose mobile phone was used for the purpose. A major controversy erupted on Monday after an objectionable post from Supriya Shrinate’s social media handle against Kangana Ranaut, who has been announced as the BJP candidate from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi.

Responding to the remarks, Kangana Ranaut said that they must free the daughters from the shackles of prejudices and must rise above the curiosity about their body parts. She added that people must refrain from using sex workers’ challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur. She concluded that every woman deserves her dignity. As the controversy intensified, the Congress leader asserted that someone else had posted the objectionable content from her handle. 

Meanwhile, the Election Commission on Wednesday issued a show cause notice to Congress leader Supriya Shrinate for her derogatory remarks against Kangana Ranaut. The Election Commission observed that the remarks are undignified and in a bad taste. The election body asked the Congress leader to respond to the commission by Friday. In the notice, the Election Commission stated that the statements made by the leader is prima facie violative of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) being in force ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
