Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee met Governor M.K. Narayanan at Raj Bhavan here on Tuesday. Though there was no official statement on what transpired at the meeting the development becomes crucial as it comes at a time when Governors of few States, appointed during the United Progressive Alliance government, are on their way out. The Trinamool Congress, however described the developments cantering the quitting of Governors as “unconstitutional”.
State’s Minister for Urban Development and senior Trinamool Congress leader Firhad Hakim said that the Trinamool Congress does not "expect" replacement of the Governors with the change of government. “There is a constitutional obligation...one government goes and another comes but we should not disturb the constitutional frame work, I do not think it is appropriate,” Mr Halim told the journalists. Mr. Hakim said that constitutional posts “should not be disturbed”.
