News Desk: State government vs Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar fight continues in West Bengal. Over files issue, speaker Biman Banerjee said that anyone can file an RTI and the truth will come out.
He said “I am tired of replying to him. I don’t know what files he is speaking of — what files he has not withheld. If any file goes to the Raj Bhawan from the Assembly then it should come back to the Assembly after the Governor signs it”
“Anyone can file an RTI. I shall give a reply” he added.
The Speaker’s revelation came at a time when the State Election Commission (SEC) issued a notification for the election of 108 municipalities across the state leaving out Bally municipality and Howrah Municipal Corporation because the Governor didn’t sign the Bill pertaining to the separation of the Bally Municipality from Howrah Municipal Corporation.
The Governor had earlier said that the Chief Minister and Speaker’s allegation that ‘lots of files are lying pending with the Governor’ have no credibility. “There is not a single file pending on my table. If there are issues pending, her government will have to reply. There the government has failed to reply. It doesn’t behold that the hon’ble chief minister will make such wild allegations” the Governor had said.
