West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has launched a scathing attack on the incoming Governor R N Ravi, labeling him a 'BJP cadre'. She claims his predecessor, C V Ananda Bose, was pressured to leave Lok Bhavan, an action she attributes to central government interference.
Banerjee alleges the BJP aims to politicize Lok Bhavan before the assembly elections, further accusing the Centre of not allowing governors to complete their tenures, referencing former governor Jagdeep Dhankhar's premature departure.
With the resignation of Bose and the anticipation of Ravi's appointment, Banerjee's remarks underscore the intense political rivalry in the state as tensions rise between her Trinamool Congress party and the national BJP, spotlighting a narrative of protecting West Bengal's autonomy.
