Mamata calls on WB Guv

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee called on Governor Jagdeep Dhankar at his official residence on Friday, Raj Bhavan sources said. The meeting lasted for little over an hour, they said. “It was a courtesy call,” Banerjee told reporters after the meeting, the first between the chief minister and the governor. Dhankar’s wife also joined the two for some time. A former Lok Sabha MP from Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan and a noted Supreme Court advocate, Dhankar took oath as the 28th governor of West Bengal on July 30. (PTI)
