West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee hit out at the Centre on Friday after the Burdwan blasts probe was handed over to the NIA. While criticising the NDA government, the TMC supremo said, there was a growing trend of interference in state matters ever since the new government took over.
‘This is unprecedented, undemocratic and unethical,’ her statement on Facebook reads. Mamata said, ‘This marks a dangerous signal of violation of the Constitutional norms, jeopardising the federal structure and democratic fibre of our country. I feel like sharing with my Facebook friends that ever since the new Government has come to power at the Centre, there is an increasing trend of interference by the Central Government in the state matters.’
‘The role of the Central Government is to deal with matters concerning major policies or decision making issues. It is expected that the Centre and the States do not encroach upon the areas of activities of others,’ she said. ‘This is being done with active support of the Central Government, which is acting like a political party,’ she added.
