In a significant move, the Governor of West Bengal has set up an anti-graft
cell within the Raj Bhavan, aimed at tackling corruption and promoting
transparency in the state’s administration. However, this decision has not
been well-received by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who has expressed her
displeasure, raising objections over the Governor’s jurisdiction in such
matters. The political tension between the state government and the
central-appointed Governor has escalated due to this move, with debates
surrounding the constitutional powers of the Governor and the state’s
autonomy gaining momentum.
