West Bengal Governor has denied Mamata Banerjee's allegations.
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.
Reacting to Mamata Banerjee's allegations, Keshari Nath Tripathi said, " Surprised at attitude & language used by CM, talks were confidential in nature and none is expected to disclose it. There was nothing in the talks for which CM may have felt threatened, humiliated.Asked CM to ensure peace,law&order by all means. Governor cannot remain a mute spectator of the affairs in the state".

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said in Kolkata that the clashes between members of two communities have broken out in Baduria in Basirhat sub-division of the district over the "objectionable" post. Official sources in Delhi said the clashes were triggered last evening over the Facebook post about a holy site.
They said three companies (about 300 personnel) of paramilitary forces were being rushed to the state to assist the local police in containing the situation. The BJP today alleged that over 2000 Muslims attacked Hindu families in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal and its offices at several places were set on fire.
