'Al-Qaeda spreading its fangs': Bengal Guv Jagdeep Dhankhar on law and order situation in Mamata's state

New Delhi/IBNS: West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday lashed out at the Mamata Banerjee administration over the law and order situation in the eastern state as he went to Delhi to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Accusing the West Bengal government of not enforcing strict law and order, Dhankhar said militant organisation Al-Qaeda was spreading its fangs in the state.

The state is growing into a hub of bomb factories, also said the Governor.

West Bengal Governor Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar called on the Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah today at his residence.

Governor Dhankhar was with the Union Home Minster for over an hour and state of affairs and affairs of state in West Bengal were traversed.

Countering the Governor, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee tweeted, "The Governor of West Bengal Jagdeep Dhankhar is a loudspeaker of BJP. Did he go to meet the Home Minister or did he go to meet his BJP leaders? He has done it around 99 times, so this must be chapter 100, once again he went to Delhi with his garbage of lies."

"All across Bengal the festive occasion was held peacefully. The joy of the festival was shared by crores of people in Bengal in harmony. He is a disgrace to Raj Bhavan."

Reportedly, Dhankhar, a critic of the TMC government in the state, will tour Darjeeling, the northern part of West Bengal, in November.

Dhankhar's meeting with Shah and his supposed visit to north Bengal have gained significance as the eastern state will plunge into an electoral battle in six-seven months' time.

Very recently, Darjeeling leader Bimal Gurung has left Shah's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led coalition and vowed to support West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee in the 2021 state election.
