The communist party resorted angrily to the post saying that they were ‘deeply hurt’. The party said, “While we at @CPIM_WESTBENGAL appreciate Shri @jdhankhar1ji’s (Governor of WB) genuflection of visiting our ex-CM Comrade Buddhadeb Bhattacharya at his residence to inquire after his health we are deeply hurt by the pictures that were taken during your visit & shared by you.”
Com. Bhattacharya is an internationally known and commended politician who has served our State for decades with dedication. His contribution to the development of WB is acknowledged even by his political opponents. He is one of most loved CMs & treasured by his comrades (2/n)

The CPIM tagged the Governor in its post, however the post has not been taken down. Social media users have also been critical of the post.
A social media user said, “And you chose to release these personal images. Didn’t see BJP posting pictures of Vajpayee in his vegetative state. You BJP guys really are the worst godless pieces of s#it.”
