Kolkata: Pressure on the Mamata Banerjee government is expected to mount after a BID blocked an Enforcement Directorate team for the second day in a row as it arrested a Trinamool Congress leader suspected of being involved in a ration scam in West Bengal.

Both the BJP and the TMC’s partners in the INDIA alliance, Congress and CPI(M) had criticised the attack on an ED team on Friday night that left multiple officers hurt. West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose stated in an interview with The Indian Express that the occurrence in 24 North Parganas District demonstrated that "democracy is under attack" in the state, Indian Express reported.

“The Constitution has the strength to establish democracy over mobocracy. The Constitution envisages people’s sovereignty, not party sovereignty. India is a federation, there cannot be a State within a State. That is imperium,” he said.

Suggesting that change was imminent in Bengal, the Governor said: “The people of Bengal deserve peace. They will get peace, and they should get peace. Recent instances show that Bengal is under attack. People are under attack. Democracy is under attack. Freedom is under attack.”

Bose got off to a good start with the Mamata government and was perceived as trying to mend fences that had been severely damaged under his predecessor, Jagdeep Dhankhar. But since then, the government's and Raj Bhavan's relations have become strained.
