The war of words between West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar is refusing to die down. Two days after she said she had blocked Mr. Dhankhar on Twitter, the Chief Minister on Wednesday once again targeted him by referring to an incident at the Republic Day celebrations when a horse of the Kolkata Mounted Police was out of line at the parade.

“They have sent aGhorapalhere… This incident came to my mind because on January 26, I was looking at a horse of the Mounted Police. The horse also came to know that there is aGhorapalhere. It was also resisting. The Trinamool Congress has no role in this,” Ms. Banerjee said amidst cheers from party workers whohad assembled for the party’s organisational polls in Kolkata.
