Earlier Mamata Banerjee had alleged Bengal Governor of talking like a BJP block leader.
In an unprecedented move, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday accused Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi of threatening her and said that he was acting like a "BJP block president".
"He (Governor) threatened me over phone. The way he spoke taking the side of BJP, I felt insulted. I have told him that he cannot talk like this," Banerjee told reporters at the state secretariat. "He (the governor) is behaving like a block president of BJP. He should understand that he has been nominated to the post...," she said. "He talked big on law and order. I am not here at the mercy of anyone. The way he spoke to me, I once thought of leaving (the chair)," she said.
Full text of Keshari Nath Tripathi's reaction:
The Hon'ble Governor is surprised at the attitude and language used by the Hon'ble Chief Minister during the Press conference today. The talks between the Hon'ble Chief Minister and the Hon'ble Governor were confidential in nature and none is expected to disclose it. However, there was nothing in the talks for which the Hon'ble Chief Minister may have felt insulted, threatened or humiliated. The Hon'ble Governor did say to the Hon'ble Chief Minister to ensure peace and law and order by all means. The Hon'ble Governor always holds the persons, who occupy the Constitutional positions, in high esteem.
The Hon'ble Governor, being the Head of the State, is the guardian of all the citizens of the State and not of any particular party or section of society. It is proper for the Hon'ble Governor to bring to the notice of the Hon'ble Chief Minister any serious grievance made by any member of public or any serious event happening in the State. The Hon'ble Governor cannot remain a mute spectator of the affairs in the State.
Communal clashes have broken out in North 24 Paraganas district of West Bengal over an "objectionable" post on Facebook, prompting the state government to rush 400 troops of paramilitary BSF today to assist the police in containing the situation. The violence between two communities at Baduria under Basirhat sub-division in the district started last night over the post following which a young man was arrested, the police said today.
A violent mob put up road blockades at several places and attacked members of other community, besides destroying many shops, they said. There were no immediate reports of any casualty. Shops were shut down in Baduria as tension prevailed there and spread to adjacent areas like Keosha market, Banshtala, Ramchandrapur and Tentulia, the police said. A senior Border Security Force (BSF) officer said four companies comprising 400 troops of the force's South Bengal Frontier have been deployed in Bashirhat, Swarupnagar, Baduria and Devganga areas to assist the state police in containing the situation.
