Governor Anand Bose’s resignation played a big role in Bengal before the elections, Mamata Banerjee raised serious questions on Amit Shah

News India Live, Digital Desk: Just before the announcement of West Bengal Assembly election dates, a major constitutional upset has taken place in the state. On Thursday (5 March 2026), Governor C.V. Anand Bose has resigned from his post. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has given a sharp reaction to this sudden change. He directly targeted Union Home Minister Amit Shah and called it the result of “political pressure”.C.V. Anand Bose’s sudden resignation: ‘3.5 years are enough’ Governor Anand Bose submitted his resignation in Delhi. In his statement he said, “I have spent three and a half years as governor, which is enough for me.” Although his tenure was till November 2027, many speculations are being made due to his removal just before the elections. Bose’s tenure has been full of constant conflicts and controversies with the state government. Mamata Banerjee’s allegation: “The decision was taken under pressure from Shah.” Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed her displeasure on the social media platform ‘X’. He said he was shocked by this resignation. Mamta alleged that Home Minister Amit Shah might have put pressure on the Governor to serve political interests in the upcoming assembly elections. He also claimed that in the matter of appointment of the new Governor, the Central Government ignored the established traditions and did not consult him.R.N. Ravi will be the new Governor: Risk of conflict increased? Amit Shah has informed the Chief Minister that Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi will now take charge of West Bengal. R.N. Ravi has also had a lot of disputes with the state government (DMK) in Tamil Nadu. In such a situation, with his arrival in Bengal, the ongoing war between ‘Nabanna’ (Secretariat) and ‘Lok Bhawan’ (Raj Bhavan) is likely to intensify. What is the political equation behind this resignation? Assembly elections are likely to be held in Bengal in April-May 2026. The Election Commission may announce the dates soon. Changing the Governor at such a time and bringing in a person who is already known for his tough stance with opposition governments is indicating a close fight between the BJP and TMC. BJP has termed Mamata’s allegations as baseless and termed it as a routine administrative process.
