New Delhi: West Bengal Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, amid incidents of political violence in the state, over which the Home Ministry has issued an advisory to the state government.
Tripathi told reporters before the meeting that it was a courtesy call as he had not called on the Prime Minister since he took over for a second term.
The Governor is believed to have submitted reports on Bengal situation to both Modi and Shah.
The meeting between Governor and Prime Minister Modi continued for about half an hour and called on Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss the situation.
He, however, ruled out that there was any discussion on President Rule in Bengal.
The state's ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the BJP have been trading charges over political violence in the state, with the TMC terming the MHA advisory as a conspiracy against its dispensation.
