Kolkata: Bengal governor CV Ananda Bose went to Delhi on Monday evening, amid protests against the RG Kar rape-murder. Before his departure, Bose met some female doctors at Raj Bhavan, and assured them the culprits would be brought to book.
Raj Bhavan did not respond to speculation that Bose was going to meet President Droupadi Murmu on the law and order situation in the state.He may meet Union home minister Amit Shah to submit a report, sources said, but added that his schedule had not yet been finalised.
Former TMC MP Kunal Ghosh said: “The emotions of the people are real but how they are being used for political gains is to be despised. Centre is using the governor. He is a BJP man. Let him be clear if he has not been asked to give a report that can destabilise an elected state govt.”
Party spokesperson Riju Dutta said on X: “Is this true? The New Messiah of Women Safety, Hon’ble Governor of WB - C.V Ananda Bose against whom there is a serious allegation of sexual molestation (the case is in Supreme Court) has hatched a dirty conspiracy to disturb a third term ELECTED government by colluding with senior BJP national leaders to recommend President’s Rule (Article 356) in Bengal! Is he in Delhi meeting JP Nadda and Amit Shah? Has he sought time from The Hon’ble President of India?”
