Tensions between West Bengal, Centre escalate on covid-19 issue
NEW DELHI: Relations between West Bengal's Trinamool government and the Bharatiya Janata Party at the Centre have always been uneasy.
A visit by the inter-ministerial central team (IMCT) to the state to look into violations of lockdown norms is the latest flashpoint.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a copy of which was seen by Mint, chief minister Mamta Banerjee had said sending of the team into several districts of the state amounted to a “unilateral action" by Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah.
This was followed up by party leader Derek O'Brien, who on Tuesday termed the visit of IMCT as “adventure tourism" and accused the Centre of "fighting" with states.
