West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee blocked Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Twitter, on Monday, saying she was getting "irritated" by his tweets.
"I have been forced to block Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Twitter. Everyday he was issuing tweets targeting and threatening govt officials as if we are his bonded labourers," the chief minister said.
She said the governor has been saying "unconstitutional, unethical" things on Twitter.
Dhankhar has been crossing swords with the Mamata Banerjee government over several issues ever since he assumed charge in the state. He had recently accused the chief minister and the speaker of the assembly of transgressing constitutional norms by not providing him the information he had sought on multiple matters.
On Sunday, on the occasion of death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the governor targetted the CM and the state government saying he cannot see "trampling of human rights" and the state "getting drenched" in violence.
"I cannot see the hallowed land of Bengal getting blood drenched (in violence) and becoming a laboratory for trampling of human rights. People are saying that the state is turning into a gas chamber of democracy," Dhankhar had said.
On January 25, the governor had described the political condition in Bengal as horrible and frightening.
