West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has expressed frustration on the state government’s attitude, claiming that the police chief, who came to meet him in Raj Bhawan, had come without any “papers of reports.”
Later, on Saturday afternoon, the governor blamed chief minister Mamata Banerjee for not submitting details of the situation.
Chief Secretary @MamataOfficial and DGP @WBPolice called on me at Raj Bhawan at 6 PM today.
Unfortunately both came without any paper or reports sought. Directed them to send the same without delay. In a sense disgusted with such stance. Hope there is appropriate response now. pic.twitter.com/RJUnCZp1VY

Earlier, he had said in a tweet that he expected the two senior state officials to be comprehensive and update with the state of affairs, particularly with “respect to raging post-poll retributive violence and vandalism.”
While State faces worst post election violence- people being made to pay with their lives and freedom only for having exercised right to vote in democracy, Chief Secretary â¦@MamataOfficialâ© comes up with alibi for not briefing Governor. Directed him to comply by 7 PM today. pic.twitter.com/fDMEGsnvkO

A few days ago a team of the home ministry had reached Kolkata for evaluation on ground. It had held a meeting with the Governor.
Presently, West Bengal is currently under a spell of raging violence. Both the BJP and CPI-M has accused the ruling Trinamool Congress.
The MHA is expected to take further actions after a report is submitted by its team.
At least 14 BJP workers are said to have lost lives and nearly one lakh people fled their homes in post-poll violence in West Bengal.
