Event Summary

C. V. Ananda Bose resigned as the Governor of India — West Bengal on March 5, 2026, approximately 20 months before his term was set to conclude. His resignation, submitted to President Droupadi Murmu, has sparked significant political controversy, particularly ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in India — West Bengal. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed shock and concern, alleging that C. V. Ananda Bose was subjected to political pressure from the Union Home Ministry, led by Amit Shah, to serve specific political interests. She also criticized Amit Shah for appointing R. N. Ravi, the former Governor of India — Tamil Nadu, as the new Governor of India — West Bengal without consulting her, which she views as undermining the spirit of the Constitution of India and cooperative federalism. C. V. Ananda Bose's tenure was marked by frequent tensions with the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government, including disagreements over law-and-order issues, university appointments, and allegations of sexual harassment in 2024. R. N. Ravi's previous role in India — Tamil Nadu was also characterized by confrontations with the state government, suggesting a potentially contentious relationship with the India — West Bengal administration.
