30/05/2021
Chief Minister also said that the BJP leadership is unable to digest its electoral defeat.
“Why are you (Modi) behaving in this manner with Bengal? We have won a landslide victory — is that your only worry? You tried your best… but they (people) voted for us and they ousted you. Please accept the mandate of the people,” she said.
The Chief Minister said that the West Bengal government had sent a letter on May 10 to the Centre requesting a three-month extension for Mr. Alapan Bandopadhyay who is to retire on May 31, so he could continue to work with State government to combat the prevailing COVID pandemic and the impending cyclone. On May 24 the State government received letter from the Centre, allowing Mr. Bandopadhyay to continue as Chief Secretary. “You tell me in 74 years have you ever seen this type of incident?” Ms. Banerjee said.
Meanwhile, the Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari, alleged that Ms. Banerjee and the Chief Secretary had insulted the Prime Minister by not attending a meeting chaired by him.
