Jagdeep Dhankhar's visit to Delhi comes a day ahead of tomorrow's hearing on the post-poll violence in Bengal at the Supreme Court.
With Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar in Delhi to meet President Ram Nath Kovind and a battery of ministers, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said she has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi thrice for his removal, but the request was not granted. "What can I say? A child can be cajoled into silence. In this case, speech is silver; silence is golden," she was quoted as saying by news agency Press Trust of India. Mr Dhankhar, 70, has not cited a reason for his Delhi visit, which comes a day ahead of tomorrow's hearing on the post-poll violence in Bengal at the Supreme Court. Days after the elections, he had sent a report on the violence to the Centre. On Wednesday, he met Union ministers Prahlad Joshi and Prahlad Singh Patel. Earlier in the day, he held a meeting with President Ram Nath Kovind at Rashtrapati Bhavan. He is also scheduled to meet Home Minister Amit Shah. The Governor's visit to Delhi comes amid a longstanding and public feud between him and Ms Banerjee. It was preceded by another spat as the Governor tweeted his letter rebuking the Chief Minister over her handling of the violence.
