WB governor attends Kali Puja at Mamata residence
Amid the ongoing war of words between the Trinamool Congress government and Raj Bhawan, West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar along with his wife went to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's residence to attend Kali Puja and spent around two hours there.
Banerjee herself greeted Dhankhar and his wife and took them inside her residence. The chief minister and the governor were seen talking to each other cordially.
"I am glad to be here. Met several people. I heard that the songs that are being played here have been written by the chief minister herself. I requested her to give me a CD of her songs," Dhankhar said.
Dressed in an off-white kurta-pyjama set and a sleeveless jacket, the governor also interacted with senior ministers and TMC leaders who attended the puja.
He even hugged state Parliamentary Affairs Minister Partha Chatterjee. There have been numerous run-ins between the governor and Chatterjee, also the TMC secretary-general, in recent times.
