Kolkata, Feb 7
West Bengal Governor Keshari
Nath Tripathi who holds the additional responsibility of Bihar, Saturday
said he was yet to receive any communication recommending dissolution
of the Bihar assembly.
"I have not received any such request so
far," Tripathi told the media on the sidelines of a programme here when
asked to comment on reports about Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi
recommending dissolution of the assembly.
Tripathi however said that he has removed two ministers from the Bihar cabinet according to the chief minister's recommendation.
"I
have taken the action according to a letter which I had received last
night. I have dismissed two ministers on the recommendations of the
government," he said.
Manjhi had written to Tripathi recommending
removal of two ministers in his cabinet who are close to his
predecessor Nitish Kumar.
