West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said even after the defeat in the assembly elections that she will not resign from the post of CM. He blamed the Election Commission and said, I have not lost, I have been defeated. Now if Mamata Banerjee is refusing to resign from the post of CM, then how will BJP’s CM candidate Shubhendu Adhikari take oath. BJP has said that the swearing in for the post of CM will take place on May 9. In such a situation, what will happen next? Told by former assistant lawyer and senior advocate Pinky Anand.
Mamata refuses to resign, what does the Constitution say?
On Mamata Banerjee’s statement of “I will not resign, I will not give up”, former assistant government pleader and senior advocate Pinky Anand told news agency ANI, “It is very difficult to accept such a statement from someone who has led the state for so long. Her even debating on this is contrary to all constitutional norms. This is not clearly stated in the Constitution; however, as per constitutional morality and all the norms of the Constitution, if a party loses public confidence, and the Chief Minister She also loses her seat… If there is a problem in the election, the proper way is to challenge the election through an election petition.
What will happen next if Mamata does not resign?
The senior lawyer said, you cannot lose and claim the seat which you got only because of public trust. If the public has lost confidence in you, the constitutional morality is very clear, if she has lost the public confidence, which she has, then the Governor can order a floor test at this time too and in the floor test, if she loses, she will have to resign. There is nothing left in this discussion. Third, the present situation is that the Assembly has been dissolved on May 7. “So, on May 8, all the members of the Assembly, including him, are deemed to have vacated their seats and there is nothing really left in this regard… We go by the will of the people, you cannot be a sore loser or a bad loser…”
