Jagdeep Dhankar, Bengal Governor's unprecedented move to post a scathing letter to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Twitter, drew an angry reaction from her government on June 15. The letter had criticised Banerjee over her handling of the post-poll violence in the state in very strong terms. In a series of tweets, the state home department said the abrupt, unilateral release of the letter to the public is "shocking". It called its contents fabricated. The state government said the post-poll violence was "somewhat unabated" when the Election Commission was in charge of law & order. Police have been "firmly directed" to take action against all anti-socials and the government "remains committed to maintain the basic fabric of society and to uphold law and order", read another tweet. Governor Dhankar, whose friction with the Chief Minister Banerjee has been regular & public over the last years, had tweeted a copy of his letter to the Chief Minister earlier on June 15.
