Kolkata: Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee took oath as Chief Minister of West Bengal for the third time today.
Moments after swearing in Mamata Banerjee for her third straight term as Bengal Chief Minister, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar sent out a sharp message to her on the post-poll violence in Bengal.
‘Our first priority is to bring an end to the senseless, horrendous post-poll violence…I have every hope that the Chief Minister on an urgent basis will take all the steps to restore the rule of law. I have every hope that the Chief Minister, my younger sister, will rise to the occasion,’ Dhankhar said, Mamata Banerjee by his side.
‘You have to rise above partisan interests. I am sure you will script a new governance pattern,’ he said, addressing the Chief Minister.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted, ‘Congratulations to Mamata Didi on taking oath as West Bengal’s Chief Minister.’
