West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose Resigns Ahead of Assembly Elections

CV Ananda Bose resigned as West Bengal Governor after 3.5 years in office. His resignation was submitted in Delhi, with no disclosed reasons. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed shock and concern, suggesting potential political pressure from Union Home Minister Amit Shah. She stated that RN Ravi will replace Bose, a decision made without prior consultation, which she claims undermines constitutional principles. The resignation comes as West Bengal approaches assembly elections, where the ruling Trinamool Congress aims for a fourth consecutive term against the BJP.
