New Delhi: West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday rubbished the allegations levelled against him by Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee stating her remarks carry "no credibility”.
“It’s most unfortunate and a challenge to democracy that media did not question CM. What she said carries no credibility with me,” he told the media, ANI reported.
Asserting that he has “not sent a single tweet” to Banerjee, Dhankhar said she made the wildest of allegations that the Governor tweets her every day.
The Governor said there is no file pending on his table.
“If there are pending issues, her government has to reply,” he said.
Dhankhar also rubbished the allegation of ordering food from Taj Bengal.
“Her statement that I order food from Taj Bengal every day is 100% factually incorrect,” he said.
Dhankhar asked the TMC supremo to point out a single document or tweet by him which is “abusive or unjustified”.
“Their performance is turning out to be a big challenge to democratic governance. If it’s not in accordance with the rule of law in WB, I step in,” he said.
Earlier on Monday, Dhankhar took to Twitter to share the contents of a WhatsApp message he sent to Banerjee.
“WB Guv Message to Hon’ble CM on her WHATSAPP today and read by her at 10.25 am today- “Dialogue and harmony amongst constitutional functionaries is essence and spirit of democracy and mandate of the constitution. This can blossom with mutual regard and respect…1/2,” Dhankhar tweeted.
“There has been all through highest personal regard for you from my side. Am sure this will receive your thoughtful consideration. Regards. 2/2,” he wrote on the micro-blogging platform.
Banerjee had earlier on Monday said that she has “blocked” the Governor’s Twitter account whom she accused of “tapping phones” and “threatening” officials.
