‘Would be delighted to call on Mamata Banerjee on Bhai Dooj’: Bengal guv Dhankhar
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has invited him to the Kali Puja at her residence and also on Bhai Dooj, known as Bhai Phonta in Bengali.
“Raj Bhavan may have been informed. I am not aware of it so far. I and my wife would be delighted to call on the honorable chief minister, subject to her absolute convenience,” Dhankhar said.
“The governor is not acting as a governor. He is constantly insulting an elected government, and therefore, the people of the state. Since he is coming to inaugurate the puja of Taruchaya Club, I have resigned as its chief patron,” Mukhopadhyay said on Friday.
Incidentally, Banerjee had called on age governor on Rakshabandhan on August 15 and had tied a rakhi on Dhankhar’s hand.
Dhankhar, who was sworn in on July 30 as the West Bengal governor, has had several run-ins with the state government and the ruling Trinamool Congress over the past month.
