Sacking of Beniwal a classic case of political vendetta: Cong

Congress today attacked the Narendra Modi government over the removal of Mizoram Governor Kamla Beniwal accusing it of "political vendetta" and "flagrant violation" of the constitutional scheme of things.
"The manner in which a woman Governor Beniwal has been removed after levelling allegations against her is very unfortunate. Government is showing political venetta. People remember the manner in which she fought for a strong Lokpal in Gujarat, when she was Governor there," party spokesperson Shobha Oza said at the AICC briefing.
Congress general secretary and Communication Department Chairman Ajay Maken tweeted, "If Governor Kamla Beniwal was to be removed, why was she transferred to Mizoram only a few days back? #Vendetta Politics."

Taking the argument further, Oza asked whether the allegations on the basis of which the government removed her did not exist when she was Gujarat of Governor or when the NDA government shifted her to Mizoram some time back.
"Do the allegations date back only to the period between her appointment as Mizoram governor and now? These are very important questions, which the government must answer. It is very clear that there is some political motive," she said, recalling that Modi had fought a legal battle against Lokpal for which Beniwal was pitching.
Former Union Minister Manish Tewari said the action did not go down well with the Supreme Court judgement.

"Any definition in any dictionary which possibly proscribes political vendetta then this is a classic case. You have an elderly lady who was Governor of Gujarat. It is not a hidden secret that the then Governor of Gujarat did not see eye to eye on with the then Chief Minister of Gujarat on number of issues.
