As Governor of Bengal, Dhankhar has been in the limelight several times as he has been at loggerheads with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on various issues.
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who was also the former Governor of West Bengal, will visit Kolkata on 29 November. This is his first visit to Kolkata after taking over as the Vice President of India.
He will visit Tripura on Tuesday and will be felicitated by the state government. He is also going to visit Tripureshwari temple. In the evening he will go to Kolkata and offer prayers at Kalighat.
Dhankhar as Governor of Bengal was often in limelight as he had confrontations with the CM Mamata Banerjee on various issues. The ruling Trinamool Congress used to attack Dhankhar, saying that he was working at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
However, sources say that representatives of the West Bengal government will receive Dhankhar at the airport.
Speaking to News18, a TMC leader said: “He is now holding an important constitutional post and we welcome him to Bengal. His tenure as governor will clearly be remembered everywhere.”
CV Anand Bose, who was appointed as the 21st Governor of West Bengal on November 17, is likely to meet Dhankhar and receive him at the airport.
