West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday offered her resignation and apologised to the people of the state after her third attempt to bring the agitating junior doctors to talks and convince them to resume their duty failed.
Ms Banerjee also regretted that she and her Cabinet minister Chandrima Bhattacharya and top government officials waited for over two hours for the junior doctors to join them for talks at the state secretariat Nabanna, but no one turned up. She, however, kept the door ajar for talks.
