Dhankhar confident about working together with state, says no

Two days after a senior West Bengal minister met him at the Raj Bhavan, West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday said he is confident about fulfilling constitutional obligations by working together with the state government.

Dhankhar, who was talking to reporters on the sidelines of a programme here, said there is "no point in carrying the baggage of past".

"There is not a little bit of doubt that we have to work together, we have to fulfill our constitutional obligations, with dignity," the governor said after his meeting with the Education Minister Partha Chatterjee at Raj Bhavan on Tuesday.

Alluding to his acrimonious exchanges with the state government on several occasions since his visit to Jadavpur University on September 19 to 'rescue' Union minister Babul Supriyo from gherao of students, Dhankhar said "We don't carry the baggage which is obsolete, which is not for remembering."
The chief minister's letter said, "The subject pertains to the Department of Education. I am forwarding the letter to the Minister-in-Charge Education Department, Partha Chatterjee to discuss all issues with you at a convenient time."
