West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday said that all attempts to reach out to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee have been futile as there was no response from her office regarding his requests for a dialogue.
Stating that a chief minister should be in regular communication with the governor, Mr Dhankhar said he is still hopeful about a positive response from Ms Banerjee.
"As Governor after exhausting back channels I engaged in outreach to CM by publicly inviting her to Discussions and Dialogue at her chosen place, time, date as this the only constitutional way," Jagdeep Dhankhar said in a tweet.
"CM sd (should) not be incommunicado to Guv. Am sure there wd (would) b +ve (positive) response," he added.
The governor, who has been at loggerheads with the Mamata Banerjee government over several issues, is being blamed by the ruling TMC for delaying the clearance of pending bills leading to an abrupt two-day adjournment of the state assembly earlier this week, opening a new front for hostilities.
