KOLKATA: A war of words today erupted between West Bengal Governor Keshri Nath Tripathi and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after he disapproved of her remarks on the deployment of the Army at toll plazas.The state governor urged Mamata to exercise caution while levelling allegations against a responsible organisation like the armed forces. "Every person should be careful while making allegations against a responsible organisation like the Army... Do not let down the Army. Do not defame the Army," Tripathi told reporters.Banerjee hit back at the Governor, terming his statement as "unfortunate". After meeting the Governor, he told media persons that "we asked him on what basis he made this remark".The Governor told the delegation he said this on the basis of what he had been informed by the Army. Both the Centre and the Governor are playing this dirty game making Army their shield.
