Banerjee wrote to the Governor: "I am really sorry to see your frequent tweets and press briefings criticizing the state government and also involving the senior officers of the state. You would no doubt appreciate that the prime focus of the state administration at present is to maintain peaceful situation as against what is going on throughout the country."
