West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday exchanged veiled barbs before a global audience at the 6th Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS). The audience at the summit included members of the Indian industry, delegates and diplomats from 19 countries and the event was organised to showcase the State as a global investment destination.
The Governor in his half an hour speech made suggestions like catalyse “development bonhomie” and “distance development from partisan stance” while the Chief Minister was more direct in telling the Governor that he should tell the Centre at Governor’s conference that “industrialists should not be disturbed through some agency”.
“It will be appropriate for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to proactively catalyse development bonhomie with all concerned as it is imperative to distance development from partisan stance. A greater reflection of political spectrum of the State in participation in such ventures would surely be motivationally wholesome,” the Governor said.
