Mamata Banerjee slams West Bengal governor K.N. Tripathi for ‘insulting’ her

Live Mint  

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee lashed out at governor Keshari Nath Tripathi in an unprecedented public outburst on Tuesday, alleging he had spoken to her on the phone in an inappropriate manner about communal unrest in the state. Addressing the media on Tuesday, Banerjee criticized the governor for “speaking like a BJP block president” and “insulting” her so much that she contemplated stepping down as chief minister. A spokesperson for Tripathi issued a statement saying the governor was “surprised at the attitude and language used by the chief minister”. “She may personally like or dislike the governor, and it is not unusual for the party in power not to see eye-to-eye with the governor, but such public outbursts are disgraceful”, Bhattacharya said, adding “at the same time, if it is true that the governor had threatened the chief minister as alleged, he too must step down”.
