VC appointment: War of words continues between Jagdeep Dhankhar, TMC
India Today
The war of words between West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar and the TMC over the appointment of a vice-chancellor of a state-run university continues.
West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday took a dig at a spokesperson of the ruling Trinamool Congress accusing him of ignorance of the law in criticising him for appointing the new vice-chancellor of a state-run university.
Dhankhar has triggered a storm on Thursday by naming the next vice-chancellor of Rabindra Bharati University (RBU), even as a bill nominating the chief minister as the chancellor of the state-run varsities replacing the governor awaits his mandatory nod.
Asserting that he has returned the “incomplete” bill to the Assembly, the governor said he expects “maturity and propriety” from the ruling party and the government.
TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh, at whom Dhankhar pointed an accusing finger, hit back saying that the state needs a “matured and impartial” governor.
"It is of grave impropriety that the ruling party TMC spokesperson has made totally wrong statement as regards Governor/Chancellor making appointment of Vice-Chancellor of Rabindra Bharati University,” Dhankhar said in a Twitter post.
