- C.V. Ananda Bose says stepping down was a conscious decision and that his reasons will remain confidential until the right time.
- President Droupadi Murmu’s March 5 reshuffle appointed Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi to West Bengal, with Ravi expected to take charge on March 11.
- Mamata Banerjee alleges Bose was forced to resign and says she was not consulted on Ravi’s appointment, while BJP leaders call the changes routine and constitutional.
- Ravi’s record in Tamil Nadu—marked by bill assent disputes and multiple Supreme Court run-ins—has raised expectations of renewed Centre–state friction in Bengal.
- TMC figures hint at possible court action and warn against converting Raj Bhavan into a political hub, as Bose notes he recently became a local voter and plans to return to cast his ballot.
