West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has tweeted the letter he wrote to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee seeking her time for an interaction at the Raj Bhavan, saying ‘Dialogue and discussion, particularly amongst constitutional functionaries, are quintessential to democracy.’
He tweeted, “Hon’ble CM Mamata Banerjee has been urged to make it convenient for an interaction at Raj Bhavan anytime during the week ahead as lack of response to issues flagged has potential to lead to constitutional stalemate which we both are ordained by our oath to avert.”
“Impressed upon Hon’ble CM Mamata Banerjee that “Dialogue, discussion and deliberation, particularly amongst constitutional functionaries, like the Chief Minister and the Governor, are quintessential to democracy and inseparable part of constitutional governance,” he added in another tweet.
This comes after Mamata Banerjee “blocked” Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar’s Twitter account. She also accused the governor of “tapping phones” and “threatening” officials.
