The Trinamool Congress has said it has moved President Ramnath Kovind to remove Jagdeep Dhankhar from the post of the West Bengal governor, accusing him of "transgressing constitutional limits" by regularly commenting against the state administration and government in the public.The BJP, however, said the governor is acting within his constitutional parameters while the "TMC is scared".

A team of Trinamool Congress MPs has sent a letter to the president on Tuesday listing "all such transgressions" by Dhankhar in recent times and urged him to take action as per Article 156, Clause 1 of the Constitution, the party's Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy told reporters. "The governor holds office during the pleasure of the President as per Article 156, Clause 1. We have urged the president to withdraw the pleasure, which translates into removing this governor," Roy said.

"We have observed that since he arrived in the state in July last year, he has been regularly tweeting, holding press meets and participating in TV discussions, where he is regularly passing comments on the functioning of the state government, our officers, ministers, the chief minister, even once on the conduct of the speaker of the assembly. Every such action is violative of his constitutional rights," Roy said.
