Back to back tweets by the Governor comes at a time when he has been appreciative of Mamata Banerjee's policies on tackling Coronavirus in Bengal. Relationship between the Governor and Chief Minister has been alike tumultuous ride which has been sunny on certain days and gloomy on the other, but since the onset of the lockdown, things between the elected head and constitutional head seemed cordial but the Governor's tweet on Monday and Tuesday showed that all is certainly not well between Nabanna and Raj Bhawan.
