Keshari Nath Tripathi
West Bengal Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi arrived in New Delhi on Monday to meet PM Modi. Tripathi told media that he was not able to wish the prime minister personally on the day of his oath-taking ceremony, adding that this was a courtesy visit.
"My visit to the Prime Minister and the Home Minister was a courtesy call. I just informed them of the general situation in the state," Tripathi said.
"I had asked to meet the PM either on June 9-10 or June 14-15 as I couldn't wish him personally on the swearing-in day, it's a courtesy visit," Tripathi was quoted by news agency ANI. Tripathi also met Home Minister Amit Shah.
Tripathi's visit comes amid political turbulence and violence in West Bengal.
"I have asked time from the Prime Minister for courtesy meeting six days ago. He has given time on June 10. Meanwhile, an incident took place on June 8. I will inform him but mainly this is a courtesy meeting," Tripathi told reporters before leaving from Bangla Guest House.

This comes a day after the Ministry of Home Affairs on Sunday issued an advisory to the state government expressing "deep concern" over the death of people in a post-poll clash that ensued between BJP and TMC workers.
In the advisory to the state government, MHA has stated, "It is strongly advised to ensure that all necessary measures are taken to maintain law and order, peace and public tranquillity. It is also requested to take strict action against officials found delinquent in the discharge of their duty."
In a letter to the Home Ministry, the West Bengal government has stated that the law and order situation was "under control" in the state.
"...while there have been a few stray post-poll clashes in the state perpetrated by some anti-social elements, the law enforcement authorities have been taking firm and appropriate actions in all such cases without any delay," the letter dated June 9 reads.
