Centre Vs Mamata

Mamata Banerjee has locked horns with Centre over ex-Bengal chief secretary Alapan Bandophyay's recall to Centre. Last week, hours after PM Modi held a Cyclone Yaas review meeting sans Mamata Banerjee, Centre asked Bengal government to immediately relieve Bandyophyay, as he is supposed to report and join Department of Personnel and Training in North Block of New Delhi at 10 AM on May 31, 2021. Trinamool slammed move, calling it 'vindictive politics' and 'forced central deputation' and refused to send him back.

Later, Bandophyay whose term h been extended till September 2021, opted to retire on his original date - May 31. Promptly, Banerjee has appointed him as an visor to CM. On or hand, Centre issued a  show-cause notice to Bandophyay for reporting 15 minutes late to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s May 28 cyclone review meeting and is now mulling 'ministrative action' or 'statutory action' on him.

tiff started when Mamata Banerjee h refused to attend review meeting chaired by PM Modi on Cyclone Yaas, allegedly due to Suvendu hikari's presence - who was invited to attend meeting as Leer of Opposition. Inste, Banerjee submitted damage assessment report to PM asking for Rs 20,000 crore for damages and left citing or commitments. Moreover, Bengal CM me PM Modi wait for almost 30 minutes despite being on same premises, following which she arrived with Bengal Chief Secretary and handed him report and left.
