“Considering the serious nature of the economic scenario in the state, the Governor appeals to the Prime Minister, with the authority vested in him under Article 167 of the Constitution read with Rule 30 of the Business Rules for West Bengal formulated under Article 166 of the Constitution , to present a comprehensive report on the financial position of the state to the council of ministers and issue a white paper for the information of the people of the state,” said a statement issued by the Raj Bhavan in Kolkata on Saturday evening.

“Those who waste public money must pay for it. Corruption, violence, excessive spending and misappropriation of public money are the three characteristics of the current (state) government and this has put Bengal in a quagmire and a financial black hole,” the statement further read.

The TMC responded by saying that Bose was staging a drama to divert attention from some controversies.

“He went to give flowers to the woman who is depriving West Bengal on the orders of the Prime Minister. He should have asked the center to release the funds. He is not fulfilling his duties as Governor of the state. Instead, in a bid to cover up some controversial issues, he is staging a drama,” TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh told the media.
