West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Sunday expressed dismay that he has not been invited to the 25th Kolkata International Film Festival to be held from November 8 to 15.
Dhankhar told reporters on the sidelines of a programme, he has not been invited to a single state function so far.
"So far (since my taking over) I have not been invited to a single state function. An International Film Fest is happening... so many countries are coming... and the governor is nowhere," Dhankhar said.
"Put yourself in my position and you will know. This is not the way," the governor said.
Megastars Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and several other big Bollywood personalities apart from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will attend the inaugural function at Netaji Indoor Stadium on November 8.
Stating the Prime Minister had visited the President to greet him on the day of Diwali, Dhankhar said, "I happen to be the only governor in the entire country so far, whom the honourable chief minister did not (formally) greet on Deepavali."
