West Bengal is preparing to welcome R N Ravi as its new Governor. His arrival is expected on Wednesday evening, just a day before his swearing-in ceremony at Lok Bhavan, according to state officials.
Ravi's appointment follows the unexpected resignation of C V Ananda Bose, who stepped down abruptly, sparking significant political discussion. Bose's departure comes as the state gears up for assembly elections, with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee condemning the move as 'politically motivated.'
The new Governor, who previously served in Tamil Nadu since September 2021, will take his oath of office administered by the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court. The ceremony will take place on Thursday, further intensifying the political conversations surrounding his predecessor's sudden resignation.
