West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday said he looked forward to discuss the situation in universities with the state education minister after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee replied to his letter for talks.

Dhankhar also attached an image of the letter from the CMO and tweeted "efforts to ensure improvement in education scenario seem to be bearing results."
Banerjee had on December 26 replied to Dhankhar's offer for talks on state-aided universities saying "since the subject matter pertains to the Department of Education, I am forwarding the letter to Minister-in-Charge Education department Partha Chatterjee to discuss all the issues with you at a convenient time."
Stating that he was looking forward to a discussion (with the Education minister) about the situation in state-aided universities, the Governor posted on his twitter handle "The CM has responded....that Minister-in-charge Education will discuss all the issues. I look forward to this, in democracy we have to move in togetherness."
Quizzed by reporters, Chatterjee said on Saturday "We (the higher education department) will first give a detailed reply to some of his questions on the state universities. If he still has some more queries, we will take a call (about any further meeting) later on."
