Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Secretary and Principal Finance Secretary on Wednesday called on Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar at Raj Bhawan.

It can be recalled that on Tuesday, Dhankhar had written a letter to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the Rampurhat issue and asked her to meet him within a week at Raj Bhawan.
According to Governor House sources, “Jagdeep Dhankhar has invited Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee for interaction during the week at Raj Bhawan to deliberate worsening law and order in the state, particularly in view of alarmingly worrisome developments of Rampurhat Violence and State Legislature.”
It can be recalled that after the Calcutta High Court had instructed CBI probe into Rampurhat killings, Mamata said that the state government will cooperate with the CBI and also that if the CBI probe is ‘biased’ then she will hit the streets.
It can be noted that on the closing day of the budget session a physical brawl was seen between the BJP and TMC legislatures leaving at least eight MLAs injured.
