R-Day event: Warmth missing as Bengal governor, CM come face to face
The shadow of recent run-ins between the West Bengal governor and the Mamata Banerjee government fell on theRepublicDayprogramme here, when Jagdeep Dhankhar and the chief minister came face to face at the venue.
Though Banerjee greeted Dhankhar when the latter approached her after reaching the venue, the natural warmth of the Trinamool Congress supremo was clearly missing.
Banerjee was seen not getting up from her chair until the governor came close to her.
It was seen that at one point of time the CM turned her face away when Dhankhar was seen saying something to her.
At the photo session, Banerjee kept a distance from the governor and stood close to state assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee with whom Dhankhar had a spat on the previousday.
While speaking to the media after paying floral tributes at the statue of B R Ambedkar on the Assembly premises on National VotersDay, Dhankhar not only castigated the speaker and the chief minister but also described the political condition in West Bengal as “horrible and frightening”
