What was the issue?

On January 25, 2022, Governor of West Bengal Jagdeep Dhankhar visited the assembly premises for paying tributes to Dr B R Ambedkar. During his visit, he launched an attack against Vidhan Sabha Speaker Biman Bandyopadhyay. Since then, a continuous conflict has been going on between both. Matters came to limelight when Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced about blocking governor on Twitter because of his derogatory remarks against state government on microblogging site.

Similar conflict in Kerala

Similar conflict has been going on in Kerala. Governor of Kerala, Arif Mohammad Khan, recently slammed the government openly on multiple occasions. However, severity of attacks in Kerala has not crossed the limits of decency. But in Bengal, people believe that governor’s behaviour has been intimidating towards the state.
