West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar lashed out at the Mamata Banerjee government, levelling a series of charges against the Trinamool Congress regime at Agenda Aaj Tak on Friday. He said the situation in Bengal was such that it resembles a gas chamber for democracy.

Dhankhar said, Bengal has become a gas chamber for democracy. People are so scared that they cant talk about that fear.

He said Bengal saw excessive violence after the assembly poll results were announced in May this year. He said, A retired judge of the Calcutta High Court who heads the state human rights commission told me, My human rights commission is in ICU. This is the state of affairs in Bengal.

He said the Constitution was not being followed in Bengal. As Governor of Bengal, I addressed the Bengal Assembly twice. It was blacked out both times, he said.

Over a dozen vice-chancellors were appointed without my knowledge. The governor is the VC of universities in a state but this happened without my knowledge, said Dhankhar, claiming that the Mamata Banerjee government was not allowing him to function as the governor of the state.

Dhankhar said CM Mamata Banerjee did not provide the information sought by him over the matters of the state in two years. He said the governor enjoyed the power to seek a response from the chief minister, but in Bengal, Mamata Banerjee refused to provide any answer.
