A senior West Bengal minister on Tuesday called on Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar at Raj Bhavan, the first time since the war of words began between the TMC government and him over a host of issues.
State Education Minister Partha Chatterjee met the governor to discuss the cancellation of recent programmes in various state-run universities and protests in some of them.
The governor is the chancellor of the state-run universities.
The meeting lasted for over an hour following which the governor issued a statement describing it as "extremely pleasant and cordial".
Dhankhar had on December 28 tweeted a letter sent to him by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in response to his offer for talks over matters related to state-aided varsities.
The chief minister's letter said, "The subject pertains to the Department of Education. I am forwarding the letter to Minister-in-Charge Education Department, Partha Chatterjee to discuss all issues with you at a convenient time."
