'Assault on federalism': Kejriwal lends support to Mamata, criticises 'blatant' Central interference in Bengal govt
ANI
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is presently dealing with a multi-pronged crisis. Even as TMC heavyweight leader Suvendu Adhikari resigning from the party on Thursday and an internal conflict brewed, Banerjee also found herself waging a battle with the Modi government. The latter was prompted by the fact that the Centre had written to the Chief Minister telling the Bengal government to immediately relieve three IPS officers for central deputation.
The instructions did not sit well with the Chief Minister, who promptly dubbed the move move "unconstitutional and unacceptable" and a "brazen attempt to control the state machinery by proxy", escalating tensions between the state and the Centre.
