Bollywood star turned BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty called on Bengal Guv

Kolkata, May 1 (UNI) Ahead of the counting of Bengal assembly elections

results, Bollywood star turned BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty on Sunday called on governor Jagdeep Dhankar at his Raj Bhawan office here and stayed there for some time.

The counting for the 292 seats for which the polling was held in the

eight phases from March 27 to April 29, will be held on Monday ( May 2) from 8 am onwards.

" I spent some time with the Governor and had tea together,"

73-year-old Chakraborty told the waiting media persons

at the exit point of Raj Bhawan.

" I had a blackout for which the governor wanted to know about my

health and that time I said to him that I would

call him after the election is over," Chakraborty told the reporters.

" It was a courtesy call and we had tea together with the governor'

Chakraborty said as he rejected any suggestion

if any political or surging corona related talks he had in the Rajbhavan.

In the last phase of electioneering, Mithun Chakraborty felt dizzy and

had a blackout due to scorching sun, fatigue and

heat condition as he almost 4 weeks moved around the districts and

held roadshows for the BJP candidates.
