MUMBAI : Comparing the ongoing tussle between the Centre and West Bengal government to Israel-palestine conflict, the Shiv Sena mouthpiece on Wednesday said that PM Narendra Modihome minister Amit Shah duo has taken the defeat in the Assembly polls to heart and have decided to make Mamata Banerjee bow before the Centre.

Amid Central Bureau of Investigat­ion’s (CBI) action against Trinamool Congress legislator­s and West Bengal ministers in the Narada sting operation case, an editorial on Wednesday said that West Bengal governor was acting unconstitu­tionally and that he should be recalled. On Monday, the CBI arrested WB ministers Firhad Hakim and Subrata Mukherjee, TMC MLA Madan Mitra and former party legislator Sovan Chatterjee in the Narada bribery case sparking another row between the Centre and the state. The editorial said that the attempts were being made to create political instabilit­y in the state. Taking on WB governor Jagdeep Dhankar, the editorial said, “Dhankar said that he gave the go-ahead for action against the legislator­s. The conduct of the governor is against the constituti­on… the governor should be immediatel­y recalled.”
