Mamata Banerjee meets Guv Jagdeep Dhankar after spat over Birbhum violence

The official Twitter handle of the West Bengal Governor tweeted a photograph as well as a video of the meeting.

The two important personalities of the Bengal, who are often at loggerheads over years, were seen greeting each other with folded hands.

The Governor's invitation was extended following the Birbhum massacre, which dates back to March 29. 

Dhankhar, whom the Chief Minister had blocked on Twitter, had posted the invite on the same social media platform.

"Recent alarmingly worrisome developments, reflecting increased lawlessness and violence, make it imperative that you spare time earliest for an interaction at Raj Bhavan," he wrote.

The Chief Minister had not responded except for the Governor's latest criticism of the government following the violence in Birbhum district, which claimed eight lives.

Accusing the Governor of making "unwarranted statements", Banerjee earlier in a letter, wrote, "Your statements have political overtones supporting other political parties to browbeat the Bengal government."

"Your utterances and statements have political overtones which provide support to other political parties to browbeat the government," she had added.

Dhankhar had invited the Chief Minister for talks in February as well.

While no agenda was named, the invite came after Banerjee planned a meeting of opposition Chief Ministers to discuss the "Constitutional overstepping and brazen misuse of power by the Governors".

While tweeting the invite, the Governor wrote that a "lack of response" can "lead to Constitutional stalemate which we both are ordained by our oath to avert".
