 "Bengal governor says ready to talk with CM Mamata amid tussle with govt")
West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday said he is ready to sit for talks with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to solve the ongoing tussle between the government and Raj Bhawan.
The governor visited the state Assembly along with his wife, and paid floral tributes at the statue of B R Ambedkar.
He was received by Marshall of the Assembly, other officials and MLAs.
