Violence outside and ''lens'' inside Raj Bhavan: Bengal Guv Bose

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose in a veiled attack on the TMC government said Saturday there is violence outside and lens inside the Raj Bhavan.

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose in a veiled attack on the TMC government said Saturday there is ''violence outside'' and ''lens'' inside the Raj Bhavan. Bose was speaking at a function to swear-in the newly elected TMC MLA from Dhupguri at the palatial Raj Bhavan which doubles up as the Governor’s residence and office.

The Governor told newspersons at the gathering that ''there is a lot of violence outside the Raj Bhavan and lens inside''. The quip on 'lens' seemed a reference to his earlier complaints that he was being monitored.

Bose had on Thursday written to the state government and the Union home ministry alleging he was being ''tapped and tracked'' and requested for state-of-the-art security system at Raj Bhavan including installation of jammers and de-bugging of the area, according to sources.

The Governor has earlier also visited areas where violence broke out during the Panchayat polls held in the state in July this year. Relations between the TMC-run government led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Governor Bose had also deteriorated on his bypassing state government recommendations on university appointments and calling meetings of vice chancellors.
