News Desk: The West Bengal Government and Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar are once again sparring over the Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS).
On Wednesday, a day after assuming the new responsibility of Principal Chief Adviser to the Chief Minister and Adviser to the Department of Finance, Amit Mitra defended the West Bengal government against a charge by the Governor that the ground reality of BGBS belied “resounding success” syndrome.
“On November 9, he strongly supported CM’s plan of next Summit and within 24 hours he tweets venom on summits, by putting out a year-old letter to CM & FM, (me)! It is shocking that he seeks response when I had officially responded with a 4-page letter on Summits, giving data on investment offers under implementation, employment generation etc” Mr. Mitra said in a series of tweets.
Mr. Mitra also shared the four-page letter on social media. “Is he suffering from amnesia and needs help, or is it a Machiavellian omission? Governor said on November 9 at Meet and Greet event as reported, ‘We have to ensure there is no room for conflict… no room for adversarial situation.. only one way, togetherness.’ Very next day, he tweeted the opposite of these utterances, in a mode of all-out conflict? Shocking!!!” he added.
Only a day before, Mr. Dhankhar had called upon the Chief Minister to “come out with a White Paper on #BGBS so that information is available in transparent and accountable manner”
